Apple has jumped into the social media pool with both feet by introducing Ping to iTunes 10. Since this is brand-new, we’ll show you how to set it up and start pinging your friends. Whatever that means.
After installing iTunes 10, you’ll see the Ping button. Click it to enter your Apple ID and begin the process of creating your profile. It’ll pull the information stored on the account, like name and address, but fortunately you can edit it. You can add a photo to represent yourself as well. There are many PhotoBooth-style filters available, so have fun playing around.
Note that your photo won’t go live until Apple approves it. Mine took a good 20 minutes to show up, and others have said the same thing. Just be patient, it’ll get there.
