Ping-o-Matic outages

Technorati reports that there have been some recent brief outages of Ping-o-Matic. Though it’s back up, they’re suggesting that you should ping Technorati’s servers directly.

Pingomatic is an excellent way to let large RSS feed aggregators that your blog has been updated. However, as a backup I suggest setting your blog’s default to include pings for all the major aggregators. Still include Pingomatic but do this as a backup.
