ping.

new social networking? yes please.
so i discovered today that iTunes started a social networking site and to be honest…i may have peed my pants a little. [okay a lot]. so of course, like any other normal person i set out to make myself a profile on this new avenue for bitching about my life. i was thinking “hooray! new people to complain to about the random horrible things that happen in my life!”. but my tinkering with ping has left me confused and unimpressed.
ping was launched by apple in 2010.
just like a crack addict…
i pretty much jump through flaming hoops to update/access/check my social networking sites [twitter/facebook/etc.]. and yes, i realize this is a sad way to live life but i honestly can’t help it.
however, when i’m not near a computer or i’m away from the internet, i can function just like a normal member of society.
seriously…i update twitter and facebook like…a dozen times a day [seperately].
but anyway.
i made a ping today. and…well…it is kind of…i don’t know…terrible.
basically it is like a more personal version of purevolume. i mean, i love purevolume because bands post music and all that sort of stuff, but i don’t really need another one.
so how do i actually feel about ping?
i hate it. like, it is cool that i can follow bands and my friends and stuff, but i can do that on twitter…and facebook…and tumblr…and myspace…and every other social networking site that has ever existed forever.
i mean don’t get me wrong, i love Steve Jobs and Apple and the iPod and iTunes and everything like that, but this was a stupid idea. i use my iTunes to listen to music, to buy episodes of adventure time, and to make mix cds. i don’t want to follow bands and chat with my friends.
they just need to fix this and make it more interesting. right now it just seems like something i don’t want to update/check…ever. maybe it’ll break the hold that social networks have over me.
that is all i have to say about that.
i’m off to update facebook.
cody.
BOO!!!! To Apple!
YAY!!!! To Adventure Time!
