Chayanne's Doing His iTunes Ping Thing

You have access to Chayanne on his Official Website, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter....and now you can follow him on iTunes Ping!

I'm sure at some point you've asked the question, "I wonder what kind of music Chayanne has on his iPod?" be honest, you know it's crossed your mind at least once. Well now's your opportunity! What exactly is it?

iTunes Ping, also known simply as just “Ping” is a social network created by Apple, that has been integrated into the largely popular music software developed by Apple, iTunes. iTunes is one of the most widely used music collection software in the world, as the explosion in popularity of iPods and iPhones helped make digital music more accessible. The social network Ping was announced by Apple on September 1st, 2010, which is the same day where Apple released new iPods, new Apple TV, and a new version of iTunes, iTunes 10.0. iTunes 10.0 comes with a redesign, and new look and features, with the biggest feature change being the Ping social network aspect of the iTunes software package. As of September 2010, the network launched with 160 million members, in over 23 countries.

The main purpose of the social networking aspect of iTunes is to allow users to follow artists, as well as see short, up to date postings by their friends, which they approve or allow. This aspect of it, is fairly similar to a Facebook or a Twitter account, but keeps all of your music information within a software program that most people already use fairly often, and some people even use daily. What is also so great about Ping, is that similar to Facebook and Twitter, Ping is accessible on the go, with Ping being available in iTunes for both iPod Touches, and iPhones. In fact, when Ping was released on September 1st, Steve Jobs even referenced Facebook and Twitter, stating “sort of like Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes”. Steve Jobs also went on to say that Ping is also different than them, saying that Ping is all about music.

So far this is what the King of Latin Pop has added to his Ping list:

Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy"
Bob Marley and the Wailers "Stir It Up"
Bob Marley and the Wailers "Is This Love"
Kitaro's "Taklamakin Desert"
Alexandre Pires' "E Por Amor" (Es Por Amor)
Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"

It's also interesting to note that the only artist that Chayanne is currently following on his Ping profile is
P Diddy!...alright Chayanne for rockin' with Hip Hop!

You can also see loads of other great treasures that Chayanne has loaded into Ping that you have also seen on Twitter, but the difference here is that you can make comments to Chayanne's Ping posts and music 'likes". Chayanne has about 1,535 followers on Ping, the trick here is that not too many people are making comments to him! So people....now's your chance to get in on the ground floor of Chayanne on Ping and get your comment noticed!

So with that said...go ahead and follow Chayanne....and you can do your Ping Thing!
