Ping.fm is the Right Stuff

So my self-absorbed plea to ping.fm paid dividends. Not knowing exactly sure what ping.fm was even as I begged for them to let me in, I was eager to set it up and mash all the buttons to see what happened. Well, it is exactly what I wanted it to be. I can from a single web page or a single e-mail update my relevant social web services simultaneously. I can change my Facebook status and send a Tweet in one action. The folks running ping.fm are kooky like me (I should trademark that) with a sense of humor building something smart and simple. Smart and simple is how you impress me most.

Also, I admire their employment of the new web word of mouth technique for application growth. Tapping the brakes on willy nilly application distribution to everyone is definitely the way to go - especially if you are a smallish development shop. So, if you want to give ping.fm a roll in the hay I have been given a a beta code, tastyping, that you'll need to be ping.fm's next gentleman caller. I have no idea how long the code will function or for how many folks, so bang it as quickly as you can.
