Yes, that’s true, Feedburner now has a ping server. And in fact I use FB and love it dearly.

Still, Dave Winer invented ping servers and paved the way for real time web servers. Weblogs is still the most used and most complete ping server. Verisign recognized that and bought the company. They have big plans for it. I’m happy for Dave and I think VRSN is doing the right thing for their business.

Michael, you can setup a FeedBurner account for your feed and ping everybody else. You don’t even have to advertise your FeedBurner feed URL. Cost? $0.

Randy, yeah, there are many ping servers today, but weblogs is the oldest and is built into everything. For instance, I only ping weblogs.com because I know that’s enough to get the word out to all ping servers.

Technorati, PubSub and IceRocket take pings directly and don’t require Weblogs.com to know when a blog has been updated. Of course, not everyone pings every ping sink, so they enhance their data with that available at Weblogs.com. But, it’s not required. Anymore.

Anjo,

Ping servers are critical for the proper working of blogs. They are the way that real time search engines like technorati, pubsub, icerocket, etc. know a blog has updated. Without ping servers, the search engines would have to index every blog every few minutes to keep content updated. With ping servers, the blog tells the search engines that it has updated, and the search engines can therefore only re index updated blogs.

I’m confused, what is the point/value of weblogs.com? It seems to be 90% spam, all those ‘Free info’ entrys. Do people really go there to see the latest updated weblogs where there are such a broad range of sites, it might make more sense if it was divided by language and categorys/tags.

Congratulations on the sale though.
