One Million Users Join New Apple Social Network Ping in First 48 Hours

Apple claims one million users joined Ping, its new iTunes social network,  in less than 48 hours after it launched.  According to the company, one-third of the people who have downloaded iTunes 10 have joined Ping.

This proves that it’s possible for Apple to get people to sign up for the service.  Whether they end up actually using it is a different question we’ll be tracking.
