Amaya Toman Kodi mumaganiza chiyani mukamva mawu oti "social network"? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram? Ndipo pamene akuti "nyimbo ochezera a pa Intaneti"? Kodi Spotify adakumbukira koyamba? Imodzi mwamalo ochezera amasiku ano omwe adadziwika kwambiri anali ndi omwe adatsogolera zaka zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazo ngati Ping yochokera ku Apple. Chifukwa chiyani network iyi idathetsedwa?
Apple inayambitsa nyimbo zochezera a pa Intaneti Ping mu September 2010 monga gawo la iTunes 10. Cholinga chake chinali kuti zikhale zosavuta kwa ogwiritsa ntchito kupeza nyimbo zatsopano ndikutsatira ojambula omwe amawakonda. M'maola makumi anayi ndi asanu ndi atatu oyambirira a ntchito yake, intaneti ya Ping inalemba anthu miliyoni miliyoni, koma ngakhale izi, zinali zitawonongeka kuyambira pachiyambi.
Ping anali woyamba wolemba malo ochezera a pa Intaneti kuchokera ku msonkhano wa kampani ya apulo. Ogwiritsa ntchito sakanangotsatira ojambula omwe amawakonda, komanso kutumiza malingaliro awo ndi malingaliro awo. Aliyense amene angafune kugawana zambiri zama Albums omwe amawakonda ndi nyimbo zawo payekha kudzera pa Ping, ogwiritsa ntchito amathanso kutsatira masiku omwe amawakonda ndikudziwitsa anzawo za zomwe akufuna kupitako.
"Pokhala ndi ogwiritsa ntchito oposa 160 miliyoni m'maiko 23, iTunes ndiye gulu loyamba lanyimbo. Tsopano talemeretsa iTunes ndi malo ochezera a pa Intaneti Ping," adatero Steve Jobs panthawiyo. "Ndi Ping, mutha kutsata ojambula omwe mumakonda ndi anzanu ndikulowa nawo pazokambirana zapadziko lonse lapansi ndi aliyense amene amakonda nyimbo." Kukhazikitsidwa kwa Ping kumawoneka kuti kwachitika nthawi yake. Chifukwa cha ogwiritsa ntchito a iTunes, maukonde anali ndi mwayi wofikira komanso gulu lina la othandizira, zomwe ma netiweki amayambira kusowa.
Ndipo kupambana kudabweradi poyamba - koma mafunde adasintha pomwe ogwiritsa ntchito miliyoni miliyoni adasainira Ping. Malo ochezera a pa Intaneti a Apple analibe Facebook kuphatikiza - makampani awiriwa sanagwirizane. Chinthu chinanso chovuta cha Ping chinali kapangidwe kake - kugwiritsa ntchito maukonde sikunali kophweka komanso kosavuta, ndipo Ping yonse idamva ngati nsanja yomwe Apple inkafuna kugulitsa nyimbo zambiri kuposa malo ochezera. Pambuyo pakulephera kwa MobileMe, Ping adakhala kuyesa komaliza kwa Apple pa malo ake ochezera a pa Intaneti.
Komabe, Ping idakhalapo mpaka 2012, pomwe Tim Cook adati pamsonkhano wa All Things Digital: "Tidayesa Ping, ogwiritsa ntchito adavota ndikuti sichinthu chomwe akufuna kuyikamo mphamvu zambiri. Anthu ena amakonda Ping, koma osati ambiri. Ndiye tizithetsa? Sindikudziwa. Ndikuwona." Cook adanenanso kuti "Apple sifunika kukhala ndi malo ake ochezera a pa Intaneti" ndipo pa Seputembara 30, 2012, Ping idatsekedwa. Masiku ano, Apple imakopa ogwiritsa ntchito ku Apple Music service, yomwe ikukula nthawi zonse. Mukukumbukira Ping? Kodi mumagwiritsa ntchito Apple Music? Mwakhutitsidwa bwanji ndi ntchitoyi?
