Steve Jobs announces social network for iTunes

Help

Apple has launched a new social network feature called Ping for its iTunes software.

It allows users to build networks of friends and musicians, in a similar way to services such as Twitter and Facebook.

The service can also build playlists based on what members of those networks are listening to.

"It's a social network all about music," said Mr Jobs, launching the application at an event in San Francisco.
