I was hoping to make updates via SMS as well and found this note. One the ping welcome page it says "Update from anywhere using AIM, GTalk, iGoogle, WAP, iPhone, SMS and E-mail." SMS, see? Someone should take that down if it's not true.

I think I got the hang of it now. Using "status" updates and it's working, and I've updated the services I use to update when I choose that option. The only thing that's still a bit confusing is that while twitter and myspace config pages do have the 'micro-blog' and 'status' checkboxes, facebook's does not. But if I do status updates to facebook, I get what I want, so for now, I'm set... until the next changes to ping come along... :-P

I didn't have to do anything and indeed, my Facebook status started getting updated again (and Twitter's), but not MySpace's status. They added this pull-down menu above the type-in field that asks you to select if it's a status update or micro-blog or something else; I honestly don't know the difference and feel it just complcates things. If I have to start choosing and making multiple entries, I'll probably go back to just updating twitter and have that update the rest...
