Ping RSS Aggregators

[iisbum]

When a new story is submitted (or promoted to the main pages) would be nice if RSS aggregator services could be pinged so they know to come get your new content.

Here is a page at Pingomatic as why this is important:

bump.

I came here to suggest the same. I manually ping right now, it would be nice to have the wordpress ability of listing services to ping upon publication of stories.

Just out of interest, where are good places to "ping". I have used Technorati for my blogs, but little else really.

Cheers,

Jon.

I use Pingomatic saved as a bookmark with my info already in it. I also signed up for feedburner and set up services to ping within, so when pingomatic pings feedburner, feedburner pings the other services.

There's also a list on wordpress with some good info:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services

has there been any new development on this?

I would love pligg to set up something like the Horde bounty hunt (http://horde.org/bounties/) in order for people who would like to contribute financially to get recognized for their contributions and people able to program within pligg getting something back for their mods - how about that?

There is a long list of features I would like to see implemented, with ping services and auto-expiration being the most urgent ones.

Hope to read some input from you!

Regards,

Martin

I found this code useful.. i run it manually from unix prompt but im sure someone could recode from it and make it a web based apish cgi thingymahoot.. or just a quick solution for me though.. maybe it can help someone else


#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# requires XMLRPC::Lite
#
# usage ./ping "your site name" http://yoursite.com

use strict;
use warnings;

use XMLRPC::Lite;

USAGE

exit;
}

@ARGV == 2 or print_usage_and_exit;
my ( $blog_name, $blog_url ) = @ARGV;

my @services = (

# See http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services for

while ( my ( $service_name, $rpc_endpoint ) = splice @services, 0, 2 ) {

my $xmlrpc = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy( $rpc_endpoint );
my $call;
eval {
$call = $xmlrpc->call( 'weblogUpdates.ping',
$blog_name, $blog_url );
};
if ( $@ ) {

chomp $@;
warn "Ping '$service_name' failed: '$@'\n";
next;
}

unless ( defined $call ) {

warn "Ping '$service_name' failed for an unknown reason\n";
next;
}

if ( $call->fault ) {

chomp( my $message = $call->faultstring );

next;
}

my $result = $call->result;
if ( $result->{ flerror } ) {

warn "Ping '$service_name' returned the following error: '",
$result->{ message }, "'\n";
next;
}

print "Ping '$service_name' returned: '$result->{ message }'\n";
}




Make it a file its perl ofcourse... um and you can just use it in command line
./ping "Aoohm - User published cuteness" http://aoohm.us

And it goes through each thing in your ping list which you can add more or just the ones you like.. and does it for you




Hope it helps someone
