Scott on Feedster

Scott talks about RSS, Feedster and Blogging.
Working for Feedster you'd expect him to know a bit about blogging - and he does!
He has a link to a technical explanation of how to Ping Feedster by adding http://api.feedster.com/ping to the list of sites that your blog notifies.
As blogger sites can't do this (Come on blogger - please change that! - why can we only ping weblogs.com) you have to do it manually by clicking this link and entering your blog url.
Why should you ping anthing?
In short, pinging web crawlers like weblogs.com, technorati, and feedster will imporve your search rankings, and thus drive more traffic to your site - and we all want more traffic!
