The iPod is a perfect reflection of this. It wasn't the first MP3 player to hit retail shelves. It was just the best, and it blew away the other devices to the point of obscurity. Now, Apple arrives late to the social networking party with Ping, the new music-focused social network for iTunes it announced September 1.
Major-label executives declined to comment on Ping, but they're no doubt watching it closely, given how important social networking has become as a tool of music discovery and to drive sales.
Ping comes on the heels of other similar attempts to blend music appreciation with social networking, like Microsoft's Zune, iLike, MySpace Music, MOG and Rdio. But will Apple do to them what it did to rival makers of MP3 players?
