Anyone Pinging yet? I've signed up, but don't find it very user-friendly yet. The only recommended artist who I actually like is U2. I was recommended Lady Gaga (I'm nearly 50, give me a break!) One problem could be that I signed up from my laptop, so it scanned this iTunes library. But most of my music is on the shared library on my wife's machine. Still, I'll give it a few days to see.

I got the same. Maybe the default list of recommendations is a standard set? Not a very smart move. You'd think it'd take a look at your library like Genius does.

Yes, I got U2 and Gaga, and Jack Johnson - not sure if that last one is because of my library or Steve!
No concept of groups yet, otherwise we could have created a British Mac one!

And I wasn't offered the opportunity to create an alias, so I would have to reveal even more personal information to enable you to follow me (though why you would want to, I haven't yet figured out!). I'm going through a psychedelic chanson phase at the moment, so I searched for Scott Walker - not exactly obscure - but all I got was five "Scott Walker" users - not the ex-Walker brother. Still some way to go

Hmm I am not really into social media. Maybe I could invent Pong the anti social media alternative.

Art of Motion is such a good album. Andy McKee is amazing.
