The hack didn't work for me. Has it been taken down?

Please note that Ping is still in Beta and many new features are coming and the service is being updated daily. While I cannot comment if SMS is coming, I can note that it has been discussed. – Ryan, on August 31, 2008 16:35

Here's the short, pardon the pun, if you want to be mainstream, you have to offer this service.
Twitter has it, Facebook has it, MySpace has it, Ping updates them, why can't Ping update from SMS?

i have unlimited texting on my phone, and even though i have email and web access on my phone, it doesn't work in my area (parts of vermont), so txting ping updates from my phone is paramount for me, otherwise, it's useless as i use brightkite (which DOES do this from my phone).

Hey you guys. I just posted to ping.fm via txt using my email address that ping gave me. Listen, they say it costs too much, then send a txt with your e-mail address it freaking works and there is no charge for a garage based site as awesome as this one. Just sayin

A shortcode might complicate matters. It might not work internationally. A regular GSM no should work fine, although it's harder to remember. I believe you can get incoming SMS gateways fairly inexpensively, but it still might be beyond the budget. – Callum Macdonald, on July 24, 2008 23:59

Facebook status not being updated

Ping.fm has not updating my Facebook status the past few days. I saw other threads where folks reported this issue, but those are all over a month old and claim to have been resolved. This only started happening to me the past few days. Twitter is updating okay though.

An example of the hyphens/spaces agitatedstate mentions is currently on my twitter profile page: http://twitter.com/reginarivera. I sent this update via my cellphone using my Ping email address. I'd like to NOT have them appear. Thanks! – regina, on July 07, 2008 19:51

How do I remove dashes at the end of updates emailed from my phone?

When I email updates from my phone to my Ping email address, "signature" dashes and spaces are automatically generated. Well, I assume that's what they are. How do I stop this automatic behavior?
