Farewell iTunes Ping, We Hardly New You

image from allthingsd.comWe were told back in September that two years to the month after Apple launched Ping – it's never-got-off-the-ground attempt to merge music with social – the company was shutting it down.  Yesterday it happened.

The now dark Ping's lack of a connection with Facebook, even as the later soared, virtually guaranteed this day would come.

October 1, 2012, R.I.P. Ping

 

 

“We tried Ping, and I think the customer voted and said ‘This isn’t something that I want to put a lot of energy into.’"

– Apple CEO Tim Cook to AllThingsDigital.
