Making an update on Ping.fm pushes the update to a number of different social websites at once. This allows individuals using multiple social networks to update their status only once, without having to update it in all their social media individually. Ping.fm groups services into three categories – status updates, blogs, and micro-blogs – and updates can be sent to each group separately.

History
Ping.fm was created with the intent of making it as easy as possible to post updates to multiple social networking sites simultaneously.
Open Beta
After six months of being in closed beta, an announcement was made on September 2, 2008 that would no longer require private invite beta codes to be used to register and use the service. The launch into Open Beta was covered by outlets like Wired, and Mashable.
Comparisons with similar websites
Ping.fm has been compared favorably to other websites with similar functionality like HelloTxt.
Technology
Ping.fm is powered by LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) with some .NET used in the core software. An API allows programmers to apply for an application key in order to develop third party applications. Users must apply for an API key through their user profile.
