Twitter said Nov. 11 that it is now connecting with Ping, the Apple iTunes music social network that failed to get in sync with Facebook earlier this year. Based on the technology Apple acquired from Lala, Ping is packaged as part of the new iTunes 10. The social software lets users follow iTunes’ 160 million users to find out what music they’re listening to or what playlists they’re creating. Ping and Twitter users may now feed their Ping activity, including song previews and links to purchase and download music from the iTunes store via tweets on Twitter.com. Ping users can now link their Twitter account to find other Ping users they may already follow on Twitter, according to Twitter’s Kevin Thau, who runs business and corporate development for the microblog.
