If Ping takes off MySpace is dead writes technology news website Mashable, and BBC Technology and hosts of others.
Ping is apart of the latest version of Itunes which when downloaded allows for users to follow their friends find out what they are listing to and find out what their favourite artists are up to. Jobs describes is "Facebook meets twitter meets Itunes"
This new social media platform is just one more step Apple is taking to become the technological leader of the modern era.
If Steve Jobs' Tweet is proved right some of the major players have a lot to look out for.

"I want to put a Ping in the universe."
Do you think that Ping will bring about the end of MySpace?
I'm yet to see exactly how Ping works, but if it has to be accessed via iTunes on your PC, then it won't make the impact necessary. It really needs to be a network that can be accessed from our portable devices, which is the place that we listen to our music, rather than on our PCs.
