Okay you’re blogging or writing a weblogging tool, you can ping 41 services today and who knows how many tomorrow, or just lock in rpc.pingomatic.com and worry about more important things.

[Of course, it doesn’t matter; if WG doesn’t know that you exist, your pings mean nothing to it.] But still.
Maybe I’ve missed something, but is there a way to automatically ping from your weblog without pinging ALL of the services? It would be nice to automatically ping a few of the major ones without having to worry about pinging some of the more specific services.

Same question as Ste Grainer, as I understand strong pinging is the opposite to pingspam. I would love to only ping sites in my language.
