Introduced last week it seems Apple has built a new class system presently favoring major label artists in its social network for music, Ping. Meanwhile if you're a music fan and want to contribute to the discussion, bad luck, you have no posting rights beyond comment as Apple's iTunes thought police do their best to keep control.
I admit this nanny-like need to stay in control seems to be becoming a theme of my AAPL discussions this week.
When it comes to music, as a former band manager and booking agent I'm always interested in championing musicians, and knowing how tough it is to get independent music "out there" I'm keen to explore new ways to promote cutting-edge artists to music-hungry fans. LINK
