Is it just me, or do most sponsor feeds totally suck?

I figured out it was kaktusan after poking around the site for a while, I've seen his posts before. That does make it more trustable, but first person users comments are way more trustable. ;-}

What's the rocket pinger do? It's concept sounds a bit iffy to me... in the sense that it should be mostly superfluous, depending, I suppose, on your attitude about how much pinging one should do.

I believe that rocket pinger really has outlasted it's time for usefulness. Not that long ago, pinging was really an issue, especially if you were trying to run multiple sites. Most blog scripts didn't do it automatically so you had to do it manually and really ping-o-matic was your only choice for adult. There were others but they all mostly banned adult. Also, back then, ping-o-matic was really suffering through some growing pains.

Rocket Pinger was the first script that I know of that addressed the issue. Like I said though, I think it is pretty much an un-needed tool in todays environment.
