The Coolest Ping Service That I’ve Ever Found

By Mohamad Zaki Hussein
August 8th, 2005

In one of my previous posts, I told you about a ping service called King Ping that can be an alternative to Pingomatic. Now, there’s another ping service that’s far more then just an alternative to Ping-O-Matic or King Ping. It’s called Pingoat and IMHO, it’s the coolest ping service available in the blogosphere. I first found this awesome service via Willie Crawford’s blog post, “2 Places To Automatically Ping Your Blogs”.

So, what’s so cool about Pingoat?

Well, if (at the time I wrote this post) Ping-O-Matic and King Ping only cover 20 and 18 services respectively, Pingoat covers 49 services. Almost all the services that are covered by Pingomatic and King Ping are also covered by Pingoat. Besides that, Pingoat also supports XML-RPC ping, which means that you can add Pingoat XML-RPC url to your blog application and make your blog application automatically ping Pingoat every time you updated your blog. Of course, the later only applies to blog applications that support automatic pinging.

    Thanks for that Mohamad.

    I just added Newsgator, so Pingoat now has 50 services on its side ;)

    Very nice find! I have been having a lot of problems with Ping-O-Matic as of late. It is good to have another option available.

    Hi Kerry, Anthony and Becky,

    Thanks a lot for your comments.

    About IceRocket, yea, I’ve known about it. Actually, it’s one of the services covered by Pingoat, Pingomatic and King Ping, which means that we can ping IceRocket by using one of those three ping services.

    Regards,
    Zaki

    That’s just great. Thank you for the information. Ping-0-Matic have been down so many times now that I actually were looking for an alternative. This is good news. I tried to click on some of the registers but some of the links were dead btw.

    Best regards

    Hi Markus,

    You’re very welcome!

    About the registers/dead links that you mentioned, I don’t understand, which links did you refer to?

    If they’re the links in this post, I’ve just checked them all, including the Technorati tags and the menu below the post, and all work fine with me.

    Regards,
    Zaki
