Ok so after rumors of Apple being interested in acquiring twitter, EA and in the past rumors of an Apple search engine, here comes another giant one: Apple is looking to create its own social network similar to Yahoo’s OneConnect.
And iTunes 9 would have some features to facilitate this or on these lines. iTunes 9 would allow you to broadcast music statuses. Here are the exact words from BGR- (really difficult to digest)
- The social networking integration that we reported iTunes 9 would have seems to be part of a bigger social networking push by Apple. We’ve been informed that Apple has plans to tie iTunes 9 into a “Social” application that they plan to release in the future. It was said that the application (separate from iTunes) will be similar to Yahoo’s OneConnect offering and consolidate all your social networking services. (iPhone application? Desktop app? Wasn’t clarified to us).
- The application will allow you to broadcast what music you’re currently listening to, allow you to share your music with people on your network, connect with your friend’s friends (no clue on that one), and update all of your statuses at the same time. ITunes 9 will let you broadcast music statuses as well.
- As far as the iTunes application organization feature, we’ve been told it allow you to sort your applications alphabetically, by genre, date added, and of course, custom arrangement.
