Ping

Kids these days. With their sleek iPod ghetto blasters, their social networks, their iTunes. In my day we downloaded our music illegally! For free! None of this Ping business!

The future for Ping, as it is now, is not so bright. Given the power of the iOS ecosystem, a score of 25 is not good. It's not bad, but with Apple behind it, that's a middling score, at best. I expect a series of improvements -- and extensions into other forms of social media -- over the next several months.
