Ping-O-Matic is running again, however the blog will now be here instead of on the pingomatic.com domain. (To make it easier to distribute the app amoung multiple servers and not have to keep so much synced.)
Sorry for the downtime, it was actually NOT related to the plans for a new architecture, the problem was the pings were overloading the network stack (really) on the old box, so we moved it to a better box and put some protections in front of it.
There will be more updates over the weekend, I’ll be blogging the news as it happens. The hardware from Technorati will finally be brought online and I have a few other optimizations in mind.

Welcome back PingoMatic, we missed you. BTW, When I click submit in the main page, it takes me to a blank page. Why? Does this mean, it’s sent. Also, is it possible to Ping Bloglines??

#ping pingomatic.com
100% Success.

Same blank page for me too. I don’t think it means that the ping has been sent.
I hope Pingomatic gets working fast. I am really missing it.

Blank page.

I also get a blank page and I think the pings aren’t sent out to the services.

Blank page - goes immediately to “done” with no pings.
This is on Sept. 05 geko release of Mozilla SeaMonkey (same browser engine as FireFox.)

I get the same blank page as well. I have gone to some of the feed sites and they are not being pinged. So Pingomatic is not working correctly.

The pings were being queued but the page was not serving correctly. Try it again, the blank page thing should be gone.

Glad to see you back - wondered where you had gone as could only get ‘page unavailable’ message. All working great now!

So the old blog is gone? Or will it be ported here?
January 14, 2006 at 10:26 pm
It will be ported here.

Don’t think service is still working. I hope it comes back up soon, because you have the Best Ping service I am aware of and it really helps us all.

Patience is a virtue. I am indeed grateful for the service at your site. I trust you will have little difficulty in overcoming this minor issue.

Glad to see you’re back! (I need a few million more viewers…desperately)
