This means posts and reviews in Ping will be tweeted on the users’ Twitter feeds with links to the music on iTunes. When viewed on the Twitter website, tweets sent via Ping expand to let users play a preview of the song or link to iTunes to buy it. In addition, Ping users will be able to more easily find Ping accounts for their contacts on Twitter."
