How exciting: I just got a comment from pingback_bot, on this post. I had not been aware of the existence of such a bot before, but it seems a good idea. Explanation here.

(Well, it was exciting to me. But I dare say some of you have known about it for years, and had thousands such comments?)

I thought it was a great idea when it was announced, and indeed have known about it for years. I've probably had oooh.... one such comment :)

Probably one is the coolest number to have. No-one sensible wants to become a pingbank whore.

Ah, news to me too - was this my doing?

[undyingking.livejournal.com]

Indeed, you have much to answer for.

OK, I admit it. I am the Comte de St Germain and I wrote the works of Shakespeare.

Yep, know about it, got fed up with it, banned it from commenting :O)

[undyingking.livejournal.com]

get you! ;-)

Like you I was slightly surprised when I first got a comment from the thing. I don't get many, but I imagine this could be really useful for journals aimed at a wider audience.

I knew about it, think I got pinged by it once and have seen it on some popular posts and communities.
