March 3, 2006 at 1:10AM Weblog Ping Proxy upgrades!
I’ve upgraded the pinger with all those features I mentioned before. It now lists all of the irish regional blog aggregators I know of, and includes the ability to ping weblogs.com and Technorati, and it saves your details between pings.
One nice little feature I’ve added is that if you want to use it programmatically, add the parameter quiet. This will force it to send back nothing in response, which might save you a wee bit of bandwidth. I might change this so that it sends back a list of responses instead.
One server I’ve been having problems with when it comes to prompt responses is Planet of the Blogs. I’m sure this is probably down to server load, but it’s the only one that times out on me. I must add some proper error handling around the ping code to cope with timeouts.

I have my doubts that the pinger (which is for Irish weblogs) will be of any use to you, but I’ve added the link to it to the post.
If you want to set up an equivalent service for your own locale, you can’t download a copy of BlogPing here.
