Yes, people are going crazy, they’re pinging like mad. Ping-o-matic, a free Ping(Trackback) service from the developers of WordPress, allows you to ping major blog directories & search engines telling them that your blog has been updated. 😀
Its quite a good service & you can guess how good they are by seeing that they’ve crossed the 1 million pings mark & are still going up & up. Another way to gauge the quality is to try it out yourself, so go ahead & ping it. 😉
