    haha they tried to get http://ping.com http://ping.com domain but that's like a HUGE HUGE golf company which said 'um, no'

  Wow, I definitely don't remember it. For a moment I thought it was a hoax, but a quick Googling indicates that it actually existed after all. Hmmm … Ping, Plus, diaspora … maybe social services should avoid plosives …

    It was that column in iTunes that everyone immediately disabled / hid / mentally blocked out.

      I've never actually used iTunes — been Linux-only for almost twenty years now, and when I last used Macs regularly there was no iTunes (nor iPod, nor OS X!).
