Here we have a pretty good illustration of why 'pinging' is such a non-starter. When you start sending notifications - and start 'sharing' intpo proprietary services (even popular ones like del.icio.us) you are simply contributing to vendor lock-in. This post is a graphic illustration of what that looks like today (and why I have always preferred the personal blog and RSS over any proprietary scheme). And the people who put those 'share' buttons on their posts? Let me remind them again, that blogging is broadcasting, and that you don't need to join the 'network' (no, not even Technorati) to be successful.
