Ping PTSW service from your weblog

While Semantic Radar allows to automatically send pings to Ping The Semantic Web service when you naturally browse the web, another way to help the service to get real-time information is to automatically sends ping to it when you create Semantic Web documents.

TalkDigger already does it, and I just realized that it was really easy to do with any blog engine, as most of them have native or plugin support for pings. So, you just need to add http://rpc.pingthesemanticweb.com/ URL in the ping services URLs, and as PTSW uses auto-discovery links to find Semantic Web data from HTML documents, if you use a <link rel="alternate" ...> in your header to point to a RDF feed or SIOC export, it will be added to PTSW documents list.

I don’t know if weblogs generally ping services when a new comment is made, but it might be worth hacking it so that if you site is SIOC-enabled each comment will be saved in PTSW as soon as it is created. One more motivation to (re)write SIOC exporter for DotClear2.
