****UPDATE****

_________________________

The keen eyed out there amongst you may’ve noticed today that our friends at Ping.fm currently have a problem with their website…

In that it currently looks a look a bit like this:

Sean & Adam, the top dudes behind Ping.fm are working tirelessly to get this fixed and dropped me a note this morning to pass onto your goodselves… Sean, Adam?

Over to you:

The Woes of Uncontrollable Downtime

As many of you have noticed, we are currently in a state of technical ridiculousness.  We’ve had some issues regarding some changes and administration with our domain name (http://ping.fm), which has rendered our website unreachable by most of our users.  This is merely a setback caused by some miscommunication and a little bit of technical randomness.

We assure you that we are working around the clock to get this issue resolved.  We have been in direct contact with the big guns of GoDaddy and they ensure us of a quick resolution.  The stipulations with our domain TLDS (.FM) are most to blame for this.  Seeing as the domain has reached the status it has, it takes a little extra effort to get paperwork, policies and/or technicalities turned around.

For those of you wondering if we’re still a service, the answer is YES.  This situation is unfortunate, but is by no way our means to an end.  We are still hard at work improving our service and our users will see and benefit from this very soon.   You can help us out by telling the people feeding the “Ping.fm is no more” rumors that they are absolutely untrue, and in a very short span of time, will be clear to everyone as we bounce back from this.

In the meantime, our bots are up and running as normal in case you still need to get your fix.  If any more substantial delay is to be an issue, we will be looking for some temporary alternatives to get the service back and running full force.

Thanks for everyone’s concern and support as we deal with this and keep on the lookout for a resolution, as it is just around the corner.

Keep on Pingin!

Thanks guys… As they point out it is merely the website that is currently experiencing problems.
The service is working just fine…

Hope that sorts everyone out,

We’ll be back with an update as soon as we have one.

Watch this space.

Whatley out.
