On Wednesday, Apple introduced iTunes 10 and Ping, a new social network built around music. Once you enable Ping from within the new iTunes, you can follow friends & music artists and share your music tastes and thoughts. It’s an interesting concept but I wish I didn’t have to go into the bloated iTunes software to enjoy Ping. Initial reports of the new social network have been shaky with Facebook Connect disabled within the first 24 hours and spammers already laying claims.

I also find it funny that Apple wants us to use iTunes to discover new music, but they use a 9yr-old Cake song in their latest iPod nano ad.
