Have you ever noticed that even if you have a camera on your phone, you still have ( or want ) a good camera separated from it? Maybe it’s because the camera you got have more px than the one you’ve on your cellphone or maybe you want something that’s not part or depend on your phone functionality.

Let’s talk about @Apple new social network, PING. A new social network from a company that has “that magic”. What “magic” am I talking about? the “magic” that makes you buy something that you have but bigger (iPod – iPad).

Ping is not Facebook or twitter, it tries to be both of them. @Apple there’re some things that are better separated. (It was a nice try tho)

Could it be posible that a powerfull and stylish hardware/software company could enter in the social network business? It depends on the product or the social network they want to release.

Social network: is a way of sharing or getting information for a social circle, in some cases it could be working together with people you know.

Ping has some “social network”’s problems:

- You can’t share your own information ( or at least isn’t that intuitive)
- It’s a new way to follow the same people you follow on Twitter. Am I right? They share pictures, videos and links on Ping, isn’t that happen on twitter?
- It’s like a jail: You hear what happens on the other side of the jail but you can’t be part of it.
- It’s not easy to find your friends on Ping.

…And so on, there are a lot of things that make this new social network a “fail” for what I was expecting.

Do you like Ping?
