Ping Tops 1-Million Users In First 48-Hours

Apple says its Ping social networking thing integrated into iTunes has been a success.

It says one-million people have signed up for it in two days since its launch with the updated iTunes 10 on Wednesday.

Here's what Apple says Ping can do:


Ping lets you follow your favorite artists such as Lady Gaga, Coldplay, U2, Jack Johnson, Yo-Yo Ma and more, to see what they’re up to, check out photos and videos they’ve posted, see their tour dates and read comments about other artists and albums they’re listening to. In addition, you can post your thoughts and opinions, your favorite albums and songs, the music you’ve downloaded from iTunes® and the concerts you plan to attend.

I wonder how many of those one-million plus who've joined are actually using it? Or will it go the way of Google Buzz?

Here's Apple's press release.
