Ping PongMost blog software automatically supports methods of pinging different blog services. Pinging, in the blog world, means to send a blog search engine a notification that your blog has been updated. It is like when you ping a server, to make sure it is live. Here you are pinging a search engine or other service, to let them know of something new - a new blog entry.

So which services do I currently ping at my various blogs?

  • blo.gs
  • weblogs.com
  • technorati.com
  • http://api.moreover.com/RPC2
  • http://ping.feedburner.com
  • http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
  • http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
  • http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2

Plus, all my blogs are pinging Movable Type's software.
