If you've been using iTunes' new social networking service, Ping, you may or may not have noticed the volumes of spam infiltrating its walls. It's much of the same stuff you see on Facebook--links to free iPads, iPods, and iPhones, fake accounts, and even people posing as Steve Jobs.
Well, according to iPodNN, Apple has managed to expunge the service of most of this unwanted material. And, to top it off, they've added back and forward buttons to make navigating the service a little easier. Users no longer have to use the iTunes Store menu to navigate Ping.
Despite the mildly rough start, Ping use is soaring. In its first 48 hours alone, the service reached 1 million users. Hopefully it'll only get better from here--we'd still like to see more artists using the network!
