Upon the announcement of the discontinuation of Google BuzzR.I.P. Ping, you will be greatly missed by the ten or so people that used you.
Maybe they should do something like Spotify, when you're listening to a song it shows up in the sidebar ticker thing...then people could click it to preview the song and maybe buy it.
And when you buy an album it shows up on your timeline etc.

God I would love it if they removed everything except basic mp3 playback and a library.
iTunes is bloatware, its packed with so much crap that so many people have no use for. I myself dont own an iPod or an iPhone or an iPad nor do I use the music store. I never use the video capabilities because VLC is far superior. RAM and CPU usage gets pretty bad especially if you have a 200+ gb library (mine is 315gb). It boggles the mind as to why iTunes even has such a name when iMedia is far more fitting.
For now, I'll continue using Vox and Enqueue Both apps are much smaller with Vox using no more than 15mb of RAM.
Love your sig
So since you don't, others don't neither?
What I did like about this is that different artists created pages so you could follow them and see when they released new stuff. But, I think you can already do that on straight iTunes?
Apple doesn't really need to build something that calls itself a social network. The new photo stream features plus iMessage, Facetime, and Game center put Apple right into the realm of social networking - all without an open declaration. I think that Facebook and Twitter may actually have to worry the most about Apple in the long-term if these things continue to mature.
Actually there are some folks that would love it if you could create your own homepage online (say with your iCloud account) that would have your game center stats, ping comments/itunes reviews, your Journals and when it happens your public streams all in one big home page. Perhaps even widgets for showing your Facebook/Twitter updates.
Not a network but still social.
lol.........iTunes.
Seriously. I haven't launched iTunes since... October of last year. And that was only to speed up migrating from my 3GS to my 4S.
Spotify FTW
For me to resume using iTunes... I don't know what Apple would have to do to make me go back.
