Users of Apple Inc.’s iTunes software will now be able to see what songs their friends are buying and where their favourite bands are playing next. These social features are part of Ping, a new Apple service akin to Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks. People can sign up and then find whom to ‘follow’. It will also generate personalised top-10 music chart based on what friends buy or listen to.
