Ding Dong, Is Ping Dead?
iTunes is getting more social, but not with Ping.Today Apple announcedthat iTunes 11 will display your Facebook friends who Liked each entry, Facebook and Twitter sharing for purchases, plus let musicians share photos on their artist pages. The changes come amongst a larger overhaul to the iTunes store and player design.Essentially, Apple has baked the most critical elements of Ping right into iTunes, namely music discovery and photos of your favorite artists. Meanwhile, Apple has stranded redundant features like Twitter and Facebook-esque artist following and minimized the redundant "following" feature, and niche parts like concert listings in Ping, which could potentially disappear completely when the iTunes update rolls out in late October.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/p2PTy8lDTZY/
