Pinging is Out; Looking for Other Ideas

Posted in FeedShot by support on the October 16th, 2005

Thanks to everyone who emailed or commented on my last few posts. Only a handful of people think a pinging/monitoring service would be of any benefit to the community. So it’s back to the drawing board.

I’m soliciting suggestions for new blog-related services. If there’s an idea you’ve been thinking about but don’t have the time or skills to put together, post a comment or send an email to (support *at* feedshot dot com). If I move forward with your suggestion you’ll receive free use of the service and credit for the idea.

So send them in; no idea is too small.

    Thanks for writing.

    Describing FeedShot as a pinging service is a common misconception. The fact is, several blog/RSS search engines require an initial hand-submission before you can begin sending them pings; this is what FeedShot accomplishes. It’s a highly specialized, one-time use submission service, not a pinging service.
