Integration Ping and Twitter users leave indifferent

Not so long ago, Apple and Twitter have agreed to cooperate: two social service have been integrated - the actual Twitter and malic music social network Ping. This project had been high hopes, but it seems that they were not justified.

According to Read Write Web, This step ensures users Ping opportunity to inform his "followers" on Twitter about his actions in the music social network. This may be a purchase songs from the iTunes Store, or simply mark the content as a liking ( «Like»). But in fact, this innovation is not very popular. On the day of Ping users sending an average of about 3,000 tweets. About retweet (re-tweets from followers who have received a certain tweet) and we are not talking. In the case of Ping only 1.4% of retweets housed a message about favorite content ( «Like»).

For comparison, is gaining popularity among iPhone users social network Instagram photographers, also integrated with Twitter, is more user activity. Thus, according to statistics, over half an hour taken separately Instagram users send about 400 messages Twitter photosets relatively content, while Ping users sending his followers 50-60 "Tweets."

It should be noted that the analysis was carried out only messages on Twitter in English. In general, it is possible that this situation - only the initial stage of the so-called "marriage" music network Apple and microblogging network. But it is obvious that the majority of users to send very little to Twitter messages from Ping. (The situation is somewhat more active with the start of sales discography of The Beatles in the iTunes Store, but this matter is likely to be over and, as in this case, the messages just were associated with The Beatles.)
