So I was thinking earlier today about how I can ping all the blog-search sites each time I do a blog post -- you know, so people can actually find me here in my little corner of the bloated blogosphere. I'd already been pinging Technorati, manually, each time I did a post. Or at least trying to remember to go get the url and paste it in before I hit "publish." But I'd been realizing there are many other sites that I really should be pinging in addition to that one. And, I'm thinking, there has to be a way to more easily do this -- maybe just pasting in a whole lot of urls at once, at least. Then I go do a Yahoo! search on "pinging blog-search sites" or something like that. And, whoa! Up comes "Ping-O-Matic" -- I kid you not! What a cool name (and I say that as someone who's done a lot of naming work). You just check the boxes for the sites of your choice, click a button, and, blam, you're done! How easy is that? The developer sounds like he has one popular little service going there, because he's been busy lately trying to bullet-prooof his servers -- which, of course, I read about on his "Ping-O-Matic blog!
