Apple today announced a number of upgrades to its music and media service, iTunes. Most notably, it’s giving iTunes a social layer. Chief executive Steve Jobs showed off a service called Ping, which he described as Facebook or Twitter for music. Jobs described this as Apple’s attempt to solve the problem of “discovery” — how to find the content you want among everything in iTunes. Basically, users can follow other users or musicians, seeing what they’ve downloaded, music that they like, updates on other social networks, and concerts that they’re giving (if they’re a musician) or attending (if they’re a friend)

(Editor’s note: Ro Choy is a veteran Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur and CEO of PeerPong. He submitted this column to VentureBeat.)
