Great New from Feedster and Moreover…and a Question

December 10th, 2004

Two press releases were issued today which should have a significant impact on weblogs and RSS. First, Feedster has gotten more venture capital money, which is always nice to read. Congrats Scotts.

Second, Moreover has come out with a Pinging service today, which is great news if you happen to get content from them (I don’t - too many ads in their feeds).

Anyway, since we can now ping Moreover, does that mean that my site will be indexed by them? The answer to my question is probably no.

So, if my site isn’t going to be indexed by Moreover, then why would I want to waste my time pinging their server? They should have only opened up this pinging service to providers whose content they are indexing. Then again, I just read this from their ping server page:

“When Moreover receives this message [the ping], we send out a harvesting program to your site to collect the new content and post it to our vast distribution network.”

So, they are indexing my stuff if I ping them? (links via SEW Blog)
