remaining poor and remaining behind the 8-ball in your Apple-bashing.
As the French say (for those of you that have heard of that language) it's in the non-dit you need to focus.
First, if the record companies get it right, you can friend Beyonc?, Edge, Sting or Bruce Springsteen if you want. Now you can do that on Facebook but now the real focus will be on the music.
Does this replace Facebook? Not at all. Does it replace MySpace? Maybe.
But for the record companies, the market focus opportunities are huge. And don't forget TV. Fox and Disney get it, the others will be like ZDNet - it just takes a lot more time for you folks to get it.
In the meantime, go on and on about how cool Zune is (was?) and how Apple doesn't innovate Microsoft does (iPod, iPad, iTunes music store weren't innovation but Zune is? Oh, OK. I guess geek-logic isn't like human logic).
Ping will work if the studios do it right. It's for them, not for iTunes users.
