For those readers who have never started a blog or gone deeply into promoting one, there is a “geek phrase” that just begs for 15 minutes of fame, or the next addition to American slang. It is not important what it means, it just sounds so useful.
It’s the term “ping your blog”. Say it again. Ping your blog. Doesn’t it just conjure up double meanings? It just rolls off your tongue; sort of begs to be repeated; pinging your blog, pinging my blog, pinging their blog. Something to proudly add to the noise level while having a beer with friends: “I got my blog pinged today!.”
Does it already hold double meanings and it just hasn’t hit the mainstream yet? Is it legal? Can you stand in your front yard and “ping your blog”? Is the term something for proper use in casual conversation such as…”the other day while pinging my blog”, or “Can you hold on a minute? I’m pinging my blog”. I can imagine George Carlin’s seesaw way of saying it: “pingingggg yoouurr blogggggg!!!!!!”
There was an old 1950′s game show called “What’s My Line” (you can find it on YouTube), where the panelists were blindfolded and had to ask up to 10 questions to guess a mystery guest’s identity. The questions asked, for “pinging my blog”, would be like these: “Are you well known for having this ability? Is it something you invented? Is this something you would do at home? Is it more frequently done in the daytime or at night? Do you have to pay to have it done? Is it a group activity?”
Alright, enough, but before today I can’t remember “pinging my blog” or having it pinged.
Seriously, after you have set up your blog and want to let the world know, go to www.pingomatic.com. Complete the three or four questions on the first page and hit enter and you are done.
