Farewell Technorati [pings]

Technorati’s support page tells:

How do I ping now?
You no longer need to ping Technorati; the ping page is gone. For blogs whose posts we’re indexing, we’ll make sure to get your content. Also, please take a look at [our indexing FAQ]

From what I see on my dashboard, I consider this statement somewhat questionable, if it’s not a blatant lie. At least at the moment. Maybe Technorati can restore its service some day. We’ll see.

Just tried it with FireFox 3.x and found another issue. Will look into it next time I see my office in daylight. Thanks for the bug report, much appreciated!] Sebastian,

I know that a lot of the sites that accept pings from some of the larger 'multi-site' pingers like pingoat pingler get that even though it might still give them the 'thanks for the ping' response. Ive got a site that tries to improve on the same concept as the two i just mentioned called <b>PingNinja</b>. To get around that i've been having it rotate between a pool of IPs on the server. So far so good. I also was able to speed up the entire process when pinging multiple services though I don't have the ability to ping multiple URLs like you do (It will only ping one URL at a time). Sorry for the mini self-promotion, feel free to cut that part out/nofollow it, but I'm curious about whether or not you've noticed a change in the way the servers respond to pings sent from this page.. care to comment? -jeff [I'm not aware of any gray-black listings.] great tool, this post has been up for quiet a while now so I’m wondering if any of those three services has greylisted this server’s IP for sending too many pings?

Here's mine, unfiltered: when after clicking a <a href="http://www.mrgadget.com.au/gadget/2008/vodafone-blackberry-storm-9500-demo-video-flaunts-handsets-features/#more-1703" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: none; color: black; font-weight: normal;">more</a> link I've to scroll down to bypass to a bunch of ads that obfuscate two paragraphs of a slightly altered or summarized press release that I've already read at the manufacturer's site or elsewhere, I become a lost visitor who will never click any ad in no time (well, not more time than hitting my browser's back button takes). Layouts like yours smell way too greedy, no offense. Sebastian Arnold, I’m glad you’re after feedback.
