When Apple first introduced Ping, its music-oriented social networking service, many folks were curious why there wasn’t any Facebook integration. Steve Jobs mentioned that Facebook demanded some onerous terms, though specifics were never mentioned. Now news is going around that both companies were actually in talks for over a year before the launch of Ping, though the talks obviously came to naught, as evidenced by the current state of Ping. While most companies out there would be jumping at the chance to work with Apple, it’s evident that Facebook knows that it’s a powerful entity too, one of the most important companies in Silicon Valley. Jokes are going around that Apple and Facebook’s relationship with each other can currently be termed as “it’s complicated”, in Facebook terms.
