I've recently become interested in pinging aggregators (technorati et al) when content is updated.
I'm aware of the 'auto-ping' section in the admin interface and always assumed that this was happily pinging the aggregators as new articles were added... However, as the original post in patch 526[1] states, this is not the case. Basically, the method used (Ping#ping) is sending trackbacks not pings. As per the last comment added to that ticket, I don't think the patch is correct as it actually replaces the trackback functionality rather than add's ping to it. I'm planning to take a look this weekend at something more fully fleshed but would appreciate any comments (on this mail or comments on the ticket), especially if I'm not making any sense (not unlikely)..
