Apple shutting down Ping social network on September 30
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Software
Remember when Apple launched Ping? It was supposed to be the quintissential social network for anyone who loved music.

Ping closes its doors on September 30th. Anyone out there upset by the closure? Anyone?
