This is war. This is no war for twitter or Facebook anyway, but there are a lot, and let me say it again, a lot of social networks out there that are trying to desperately do what Apple will be doing in a couple of hours: a mayor social network for music.

MySpace should be aching right now, wondering hot to get out of this. And as usual, let me say that this author is not a SJ Fanboy, but I think they just hit a mayor milestone yesterday on the announcement of Ping.

Music usually brings people together, at many levels. In fact, Apple has built a lot of  public image just by using good taste music. And there's something about music that has so many variations, that an overpopulated world is not enough for categories and likes. And people does like to comment, share and discuss about different categories of music.

There's the point where Apple have been succeeding: bringing music to people as easily as they can. And by instantly converting the millions of iTunes users to social users is huge.

It won't stop on Music

And music is not all. For sure Ping will become a social network for media in general, including tv, movies, books and of course, Apps.

So if you had hope to create a mayor social network for any media-related content, well, good luck buddy.

The little flaw in the plan

There is, though, a little flaw in the plan. Another major milestone in Apple Inc. life, was making iTunes (and so iPods) Windows compatible. But ask any iTunes Windows user for it and for sure you will be yelled at it because of the sloppiness of iTunes when running on Windows.

iTunes in Windows is so painfully slow, that will be in the way of getting this great social network.
