Not everybody out there knows what %u201Cpinging%u201D or %u201Cto ping%u201D means. It is an old computer term used when a computer is checking to see if it is connected to anyone else. Basically a computer %u201DHello?%u201D and the term comes from the sound that a sonar makes when it is looking for someone else. Ping.fm took their name from that and you will see why. Rather that going around and updating all your social network sites one at a time, Ping fm sends it out as one ping to all of them at once. When they say all of them they really mean all of them. It will send it to Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Gtalk, AOL, Linkedin, Identi.ca, Bebo, Flickr, Photobucket, and the list goes on. If yours is not on there let them know and they will try to get it on the list. Pinging has never been so fast.
