Apple iTunes Ping, Seesmic Ping.fm : I'm Confused

Loic is being punished for this photo
Today, Steve Jobs announced the new iTunes 10 with a number of special features this space will discuss later.

But the overall question for the day is that Apple iTunes has a new social network that for some reason Apple calls Ping. But the problem is Seesmic also has a social networking site called - you guessed it - Ping.

This blogger is confused.

Ping.fm by Seesmic is designed to allow you to access all of the social networks you're on that it offers.

By contrast Apple iTunes Ping is a social network for music. OK. I get that, but does that mean I can ping my ping?

How did this happen? Well, either Steve Jobs has it in for Seesmic Founder Loic Le Meur, or something else.

Maybe Steve's punishing him for having his photo taken with President Bush instead of President Obama!

Stay tuned.
