Is Apple Working On Super Secret… Social Networking App?
TG Daily Chicago (IL) – So we have known for a while that iTunes 9 is pretty much ante portas, and daily rumors of the new version of the software is simply what you would expect at this stage. As far as we are concerned, you can rely on most of these rumors about as much as on a fortune cookie. But we have to admit that today’s tidbit is rather interesting: Apple is reportedly working on an application that would tie together all your social networking activities in one place.
Today’s news comes courtesy of Boy Genius Report, which quotes a source that claims that there will be some sort of social networking twist in the upcoming iTunes 9, which will be part of a “bigger social networking push by Apple.” Apparently, Apple plans to attach iTunes to a much more social application down the road, an application that would have the feel of Yahoo’s OneConnect.
If true, then Apple would not try to reinvent the wheel with another Twitter or Facebook, but try to pull all your social networking efforts together in one place. And, of course, there would be a strong connection to what iTunes does today and enable users to broadcast share their iTunes content. And what would a social application without status updates be? According to Boy Genius Report, “iTunes 9 will let you broadcast music statuses as well.” Fun.
