Blogging Ping Stats
Posted by Ian Holsman
I hooked up a simple listener to the Blo.gs cloud and recorded how often pings were received, and who sent them for 1 Day.
as you can see there are some people abusing the system, sending hundreds of pings a day, but they shouldn’t be causing too much trouble for the ping servers. I’m guessing someone’s RSS creation library pings automatically, and people are just blindly using the library in their code or something..
Another way to look at the same data:
Of all the pings sent 67% ofthem are from individual sources, with it reaching 90% at 7 pings from a single source. (95% is at 31 pings)
FYI Robert Scoble sent 8 pings that day, so he needs to work a bit harder to get himself out of the curve ;-)
