On this day in 2012: Apple shut down iTunes Ping. Described as "Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes", the platform was shut down after two years owing to a lack of interest and integration with other networks.

Weird, I had never heard of this before. And I had even switched over to a Mac laptop by then, so somehow I missed this entirely. I doubt I'd ever use it, but I still find it weird that Apple launched and crashed an entire social network without me even being aware.
