Sometimes I reply to a comment posted with Ping and don't really
know if they actually use the site or have just included it in
general Ping-age, if you see what I mean...
I knew about Ping AGES ago, (was on the closed beta long before
it was 'launched'), and I still say now what I said then:
It's a great service if you truly want 'one-to-many' messaging.
However if, like me, you have different audiences per service, then
Ping might not be for you.
The folk that follow me on Jaiku are completely different to
that on Twitter.. and that's just one example. It's rare that I'll
share the same message across the different services.. Don't get me
wrong, it does happen. But I prefer giving a different, more
catered, signal to noise ratio per radio station..
I pick and choose it, if I'm going for mass coverage/sharing
then I'll ping, if it's specific connections that I'm going for
then I'll go direct to the relevant service/site. Ping's great for
the general stuff I find :o)
Very true, however you are the james whatley (social networking
guru) ;) however for me as my following is very small and none of
my friends (bloody normobs) use twitter, jaiku, kwippy etc I prefer
the mass push of my messages!
