How do I feed RSS into Ping.fm?

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately you have to verify the address and that's not easy using as the important information is truncated from the post :-(

So basically, the answer is that it can not be done.

SO.... we found a way to feed a blog feed (rss feed) to ping yet?

I'm user twitterfeed instead

Anything new on this?

At the moment the answer seems to depend on the exact mix of services you use. I figure that probably the best way could be via Yahoo Pipes and the Ping.fm custom URL feature -- but that's just guessing on my part.

Is there an update regarding this third party developer?

Yeah, not to nag about this, but this feature would turn the service into something monumentally useful to a lot of people, particularly because of Myspace's refusal to make its blogging system import feeds.

I'm trying to make pingfeed at the moment but I'm having trouble with the rss/atom checking feature where it checks the feed every 30 min for updates to it......I most likely won't be ready for a while though, or untill I figure out how to make the rss/atom checker (its kinda hard to do it in php).

I am not 100% sure what you are struggling with, but there's actually a very usable PHP script that reads RSS feeds at http://www.feedforall.com. I use a modified version (as some features didn't quite work). It takes my blogger feed and makes an html page out of it

From http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMotion... to http://themotionsick.com/themotionsic...

It works quite well for me.

thanks I will look into that

Not exactly what I was looking for...I was going to have php script on a cron job detect if there had been any changes to a feed (like a new blog post) then ping it if their was one.

Ya thanks I'll do that. Pingfeeder will most likely be one of my easier projects to make.

Any progress on this one?

yea be really interested in this but i know anthonyk got a lot going on at mo so give him time :D

I've got around this problem by using twitterfeed to post to twitter and identi.ca. Jaiku and FriendFeed support RSS feeds directly (Jaiku albeit on a very delayed cycle).

The rest I try not to care about :-)

@Alec Clews ya I actually use twitter feed for a number of things also but one of the main reasons I am making pingfeed is because many people would like the ability to have automatic feed pings/updates to more services than twitter feed offers. Like blogger or their myspace blog or their plurk. With twitter feed you can't do that. With pingfeed you will be able to it will support automated pinging on feed updates and can post them to a certain service (ex.facebook), update type (status, blog, micro blog), or custom trigger you make on ping.fm . This best part is is that this along with pingitlater or pingulater (haven't decided on the name yet) will both be integrated with my widget so you can setup a future ping or have it ping a feed update or just send a normal ping from your desktop from my widget. The reason I can do this is because believe it or not all of my widgets are web based (So I daily make changes to my widget and no one has to update). That's one of my goals, which is something twitter feed can not offer. I think twitter feed is a good service though and is actually where I got my idea for pingfeed from :) .

Thanks for all the gread information anthonyk!
