i'm using a new pinging mechanism
I wish I could remember where I got this link; it's been in the last few days and I bookmarked the service but not the source. Anyway, I'm now using
Pingoat instead of
Ping-O-Matic to ping services after updating my blog.
Why? It's freakishly quick and, unlike the results I've had using Ping-O-Matic, it appears the pings actually get to where they are supposed to go. Crazy, I know! Secondary reason? I love the logo. It's crazy little goat head. I don't know why. Also, the guy that developed the process is an overachieving young fellow who has some serious skills, and I like to support people like that. Good job, Kailash Nadh!
Pingoat is a service that pings or notifies a number of services that keep track of weblogs and publish them. By pinging, you let the services know that your blog has been updated and hence, they crawl and index your site, publishing your blog contents, thus increasing your blog's popularity.
Cool logo and funny helper text throughout is just a bonus!
