You may or may not have heard that Apple held an event today at which they announced a number of things (full recap here). One of those things was Ping.
What is Ping? According to Apple CEO Steve Jobs Ping is like “Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes.” Continuing, “But it’s not Facebook, it’s not Twitter, it’s a social network all about music.”
Once you upgrade to iTunes 10, you can sign up for the social network all about music, Ping. But how will your friends find you, and you them? Here’s how to find your Ping URL and pass it along to anyone and everyone:
1. Go to your Ping profile. My “excellent” one is presented below.
2. Right-Click or Control-Click on your name:
3. Select “Copy Link”:
That’s it. Now that you’ve copied your link you can share it with all. Granted, the link is long, but that’s how people can easily locate you without having to conduct a search in Ping itself, being invited by email or through Facebook.
By the way, I can be found on Ping here.
Initial thoughts on Ping? Likes/dislikes?
Thanks. Been trying to figure this out. Didn’t realize it was that easy.
Very welcome. We were up last night working and toying around with Ping and thought this might be helpful. It isn’t an intuitive thing. Hope you enjoy Ping and its features and thanks for commenting!
I think ping is a piece of crap and entirely pointless. It’s like Last.fm but without ANY of the features or social networking.
very good method! thanks ! i will try it!
Is great that Apple created a social network only for music lovers, they can share here their favorite songs, photos with stars or any other news about music. Calculator RCA 2012

Thank you, i want to add it to my about.me page.
