Happy Birthday, Ping-O-Matic!

Ping-O-Matic is one year old today. To think that my lowly little service pinger, originally created to help me gain an edge on BlogShares, is all grown up and sending out approximately 1 million pings per day! We’ve sent out pings on behalf of over a half-million individual blogs, and over 85 thousand in just the last week.

I haven’t been able to give PoM as much attention lately as I’d like. I still have lots of ideas that I want to implement, but it’s just hard to find time to do it, between the dayjob, the new house, spending time with the wife and kids, and preparing for the upcoming baby. But I keep hoping that someday soon I’ll be able to spend some time adding some of the new features I have in mind.
