No one's going to "live" in iTunes they way they do Facebook, or use it as a means to broadcast sporadically to their Followers like Twitter. What Ping will do is allow you to easily buy that song your new-music-fiend friend recommends so highly, or, more importantly, buy the new track from your favorite, but semi-obscure indie, band. That combined with some basic community building features and you've got a tool that will have a fair amount of benefit for music lovers, musicians who want more rapport with their fans, and of course Apple at 30 cents a track. You're not going to keep up with your Grandmother or high school crush on Ping, but you will with the bass player from that band that's coming to town next week.
