Another Mass-Pinging Service

Webloggers and other pingpeople might appreciate Pingoat, which offers a huge number of services to ping at once divided up into three categories. It's at http://pingoat.com/ .

(Pinging == sending an alert to a crawling or aggregation service, letting them know your site has updated. That way they know when they come spider your site that fresh content will be available.)

Pingoat has dozens of sites to ping, divided into three categories: General, Non English Services, and Special Services. Enter your blog name, URL, and feed URL, and select the services you want to ping (you can click on the category name to ping everything in the category.) Pingoat returns a status page that shows you the results of each ping. With one exception (Weblogs.se) all the pings I tried succeeded.

One thing I notice is how fast the results were. Pingoat seems to be quite a bit quicker than Pingomatic.
