Edible Apple

So much for that failed social experiment. After two years Apple is finally closing the doors down on Ping come September 30.

Apple tried, but it turns out its customers weren’t interested in forming new social connections specifically around iTunes music. So, just two years after it was introduced, Apple is officially retiring its Ping social network. The service is shutting down on Sept. 30, according to a message posted Wednesday in the Ping section of iTunes.
