Follow a friend: Choose a starting group of friends when you set up your prole
using iTunes on your Mac or PC. After that, you can choose to follow others using
Ping on iPhone.

Search. Tap your friend’s name in the list of matches, then tap Follow.
 While exploring Ping: Tap a person’s name, then tap Follow.

choose to approve or decline requests to be followed as they arrive, or simply accept
all new followers without review (the default).

piece of music, or tap Like just to say you like it. Your friends will see your thoughts in
their iTunes Ping Activity feed. You can also say you like a song, or comment on it while
you listen to it on iPhone. See “Additional Audio Controls” on page 94.
Share concert plans: Tap Concerts on your prole page to see upcoming concerts by
the artists you follow, and see which of your friends are going to a concert. Tap Tickets
to buy your own ticket, or tap I’m Going to let others know you’ll be there too. (Not
