Then iTunes Ping goes. This service lets you post your thoughts and opinions, your favorite albums and songs, the music you’ve downloaded from iTunes, plus view concert listings and tell friends which concerts you plan to attend. Ping also lets you follow favorite artists to see what they’re up to, check out photos and videos they’ve posted, see their tour dates, etc. Ping’s Recent Activity feed shows your friends posts about artists, albums, songs and concerts, plus a consolidated Top 10 list of the songs and albums friends and the artists you follow are downloading from iTunes. With iTunes 10, you can rent your favorite HD TV shows commercial free and watch them at home or on the go for just 99 cents an episode.
