iTunes goes social

Apple announced iTunes 10 which includes a social network feature called Ping.

Basically with Ping, you can follow two types of people, artistes and friends.

iTunes Ping - Artistes

iTunes Ping - Artistes

With artistes, other than updates a la Twitter/Facebook, you can see what kinds of music this artiste likes. Ping makes recommendations to you based on the artistes tastes, which is really great because you can actually see what are that musician’s influences. That, IMO, is far more interesting than knowing where they’re going to be performing, random photos, musings about daily life, etc etc.

iTunes Ping - Friends

iTunes Ping - Friends

Following friends is basically like, well, iLike. You see what songs/albums your friends like, what they recently purchased, artistes they follow and so on. This will actually work better that iLike (which I deleted eons ago) because it is relevant. With the information overload today, relevance is very powerful. iTunes is about music. And Apple has just up-ed it a couple of notches with this feature.

Go download iTunes 10 now.

P.S. Please note that Ping is not available in every country. Register for an US account in the iTunes Store if you wish to access the Ping feature.

Koi Cafe Bubble Tea

Bubble Tea fever is back in Singapore. If you see a long queue at one of these locations – Ang Mo Kio Central, Bishan Junction 8, Bugis Illuma, People’s Park or Marine Parade – yes they’re waiting for bubble tea.

Koi Cafe is really popular. Giving in to the hype, I personally tasted the drink myself, and man, was I impressed.
