NPR’s music blog The Record has called Ping one of the worst ideas in music in 2010 — and I can’t say I disagree with them. Ping is a failure by just about every possible metric, with slow adoption by users, difficulty in finding friends, artist accounts which are only used to shill gigs and music, iTunes only interface, and general misery. Recently its gotten slightly better due to Twitter integration and the shockingly late introduction of shared playlists, but for a social media platform it’s just too little, too late. To quote NPR:
Apple doesn’t like sharing, thus, it is difficult for them to build a social network.

Apple deserves this. Greedy F**ks. Ping is just a glorified way to push itunes music down your throat. I refuse to use it for that reason alone. They already have a link to them in every music app as it is(shazam, vevo and many more). This is just to much.
Glad NPR called it for what it is “worst idea in Music 2010″.
