The Yahoo Ping Box

After multiple reminders from Lipi, I've set up the Yahoo ping box on my blog. I'm a little apprehensive about it coz I really don't want any random person pinging me.. I prefer simple comments that I can answer at my leisure.. or choose not to answer at all! This is social networking at its extreme and I don't think I'm ready for it.. I also wonder how I'll ever be sure that the person I'm talking to is actually the person he/she claims to be.. and umm.. I hope it has anti-spam checks built in.. should confirm that with Lipi!

Anyways, its up there now, a kind of experiment.. and I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

This post is the first search result on Google when you search for "yahoo ping box".. I should ask the YM team for some money to give the app some positive publicity :D

Lipi said...

you are getting enough treats from a certain member of the YM team :D that should suffice !!

Rahul said...

Lipi said...
