Apple's Ping Rings Up a Quick Million Members

If you’re going to launch a new social network in this hotly competitive market, it helps if you start with a devout fan base of millions ready to crash the doors the moment the ribbon is cut. Apple announced today that in the 48 hours since it was released, iTunes 10 has been downloaded by more than three million users, and more than a third of them have joined Ping, Apple’s new network for sharing and discovering music.

    Ping just doesn’t offer what people expect from a good networking utility! It doesn’t compare to the Facebook/Spotify partnering, and artists need an invite to join, this restricts the indie music scene! Good one Apple http://bit.ly/9nLNiE

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
