I will not. I would rather go back to an unknown existence (like before Facebook) than go out and talk to people.

You nailed it. I signed up after I installed iTunes 10, but I have no plans to ever use the service.
Are you being serious? Because there is absolutely no freaking way at all for someone to steal your credit card just by having your name. In fact, you would probably be surprised to know that your first and lastname are hardly unique at all. Even the most unique sounding names usually result in a couple thousand people in the world with the same exact name. Just imagine how many there are of common names!
Think about how many people have the name Steve Jobs, way more than anybody can accurately guess!
The ONLY privacy issue at all with Ping is the fact that people can see your entire music purchase history on iTunes.
Also, I can confirm after you sign up you can change your name to whatever you want and your credit card name will stay the same, it is only during the sign up process that the name will be the same.
This just in: the majority of those who downloaded iTunes 10 so far are avoiding Ping.
See? I can spin, too, Apple.
ping as some potential. they need to have status where itunes sees what your doing right that second in it and updates that in pings status. and twitter integration. no Facebook. thats evil. like Verizon
The demise of FB will be the single greatest achievement to date in this century. Suddenly 500 million people will wake up one morning, walk outside and say hello to their neighbor. Or was that a movie?
It was a movie.. Forgot the name though....... :/

actually, me my mom, dad, bro, and grandma are the only in the usa to the last name i have.
Actually, there is not one person in the world with both my first and last name. And only about 10 other people with my last name in the united states. I have a geographic Ukrainian last name, and my first name is Jason,
NOOOOOO It cannot be a success! It's so dumb. Pretty soon you will need a social network for your friends, a social network for your music, one for your news, one for your job, one for your town, one for your gaming platform, one for each computer you have, one for religion, one for your political viewpoints, one for each one of your interests, and several more, as well as a social network to manage your social networks!
What kind of path are we traveling down? All I know is I want off

This true to a point. I'm on Facebook (boo-hiss I know) but if you do a search for my first and last name, I don't even come up. Several hundred other people come up though. LOL

I like Ping. I wasnt sure at first, but i just found some interesting music by following some other Ping user. And though I dont really listen to Linkin Park, they had some entertaining videos of the singer laying down a vocal track and another video of a contest winner. Enjoyable, it'll be interesting to watch Ping grow.
I'm one of those who signed up, poked around, and signed back out. Despite me being 17, I've never used Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or the like because I simply don't care what other people are doing. So why should I care what people who have different musical tastes than myself are listening to?
Also, when it asked me which genres I liked, I chose "country" and nothing else. The first "recommended artist" for me to follow was Lady Gaga. Right.
