Apple's social network

According to AppleInsider, one of the “novelties” of the upcoming iOS 5 will be a social network. Estimated name of the service «Find My Friends». The list of social options reminds you of the possibility of Twitter with integrated photo-video functionality.


Traces of the social network were found in the HTML code of the Apple MobileMe / iCloud website. AppleInsider assumes that GPS capabilities will also be realized in this network. In 2009-10, Apple managed to patent the technology "Friend Locator", that is, an indication of the location of friends and distances to them.


Beginning September 1, 2010, Apple has already experimented with integrating social functions into its own successful products. But after only 4 months of work, on December 29th, the iTunes Ping musical-social mechanism hit the top ten technological failures of 2010 according to CNN.
