StarPinger, send blog pings from your desktop

What Is StarPinger ?

Take your favorite ping service (pingoat, pingomatic) and put it in a program and add new features like:

Why Should I Use It ?

No more waiting for pings to pass through
Blog software like WordPress pings with 1 process, this means you have to wait until the process finished. StarPinger will start 3 processes for every ping task, if you have 5 blogs it will start 15 (3 processes * 5 blogs) processes. These processes run in the background, you can minimize StarPinger and continue your work while StarPinger pings silently in the background.

Use proxies to ping faster and to prevent blacklisting
Most ping services only accept one ping from one ip address in one hour. StarPinger gets around this limitation by using proxies, this means you can ping as many times as you want.

Ping once for all your blogs
If you own a whole blog network you can use StarPinger to do the pinging for all your blogs. StarPinger will become the program that handles all the pings for all your blogs and that with a single click op the 'Start ping' button.

How Does It Work ?

Choose one or more blogs, choose all your proxies (optional step) and press the 'Start ping' button. StarPinger will start sending pings from the selected blogs to all ping services, these pings will optional be send through the selected proxies. Keep it stupid simple! StarPinger will also remember which proxies he has used and will use the least used proxies for the pinging process.
