The "Follow Other MR Ping Members" Thread

Currently, there aren't many people you know who can follow you on Ping, and likewise there aren't a bunch of people worth following. I figure that since Ping is much more of a "broadcast good music discoveries and follow artists" service than a social networking service, a community such as this may be a good way to find people to follow and build up a group of followers that makes broadcasting your music tastes worthwhile. Here is the format I'd like users using to share their Ping info:

Full Ping name
Favorite genres:
Link to your Ping profile (right-click your full Ping name and click "Copy Link" in iTunes)

So, for myself:

Michael DeLisi
Rock, Pop
http://c.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZConnections.woa/wa/viewProfile?userId=187476175

It should be fun to follow random Mac enthusiasts and gain a few followers. I'll follow people with similar taste for sure. Check out (and hopefully follow) everybody's Ping accounts, and post yours!

 

Starting this thread on my iPhone was probably a mistake because Ping currently sucks on the iPhone, and is best-used in the full version of iTunes at the moment (I hope there's a web-based version soon). Anyway, I added the link to my own Ping profile, and I encourage others to do the same. Sharing your activity is meaningless if nobody's following you .

 

I didn't think my link was correct. I just copied "My Profile" in iTunes. How'd you copy the full link to your profile? Also, you're supposed to put which genres you like best (I want everybody to do that since they can follow others who have similar taste). Whenever I copy it, it works fine for me, but I I'm missing the "showprofile=" part.

EDIT: I searched for myself on Ping and copied the link:
http://c.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZConnections.woa/wa/viewProfile?userId=187476175

 

That's what I did that gave me that link. Well, I fixed it by searching for myself and copying the link to my profile. So, if anybody else has the same problem, try that.

 

MR doesn't have an iTunes-specific sub- forum yet. Somebody requested that recently here:

I wasn't sure where to post this thread since there isn't one place on the forum that's fit for this thread.

 

You copied your profile link wrong. The easiest way to copy it right is to right click on your name and click "Copy Link."

 

Your link shows up with two http:// and a " for me. Just a heads up.

 

You copied the wrong link. Right click on your Ping name and click "Copy Link". Copying the "My Profile" link will just take a person to their Ping profile (which you copied).

Apparently Apple needs a better way for users to get their profile links...

 

You copied it wrong again. Just search for yourself and right click your name when it appears in search, then select "Copy Link." Third time's the charm .
