iTunes’ Ping Needs a URL Shortener and itun.es Might Be It

So the big news in the Apple world today was that Ping added Twitter sharing functionality, opening up a new way of sharing music outside of the iTunes platform.

Unfortunately though, the tweeted URL that results isn’t as elegant as Apple standards would have you imagine. MacRumors did some digging around and found that Apple registered the itun.es domain back in 2006, which will hopefully be used to resolve this unsightly issue. After backing away from the original plans for Facebook integration, this could be the social step that Ping needs to garner some much needed attention.
