Quick App: Ping.fm 7
With the appearance of so many social networking sites in recent times, it can be a real chore to open each application or webpage of the associated social networking or microblogging service individually to update the world on what you've just eaten for breakfast or your most recent encounter with mall security. The solution to this vexing issue is the recently released free application Ping.fm, which allows you to update the untold multitudes of services you belong to all at once, with the program supporting a staggering list of services, many of which you've probably never heard of.
If you're thinking of downloading the app and you're not already a ping.fm user, you would wise to hit the service's website from the desktop and configure everything there, as the webOS app doesn't offer the ability to configure such things on the device itself and setting everything up via the phone's browser is a less than enjoyable experience. Once everything's set up, though, the program is as easy to use as it is simple: You're presented with a drop down menu allowing you to select which services you'd like to ping, either individually or as a whole, a space to type your message, and a button to "Ping it!".

Yeah, would be nice if they would send me my mobile code. Been over a week now and still nothing.
When you click the "Get your Mobile Key" link on your phone, you will be brought to a login page. After you login, you will be given your mobile key.
You can go to http://ping.fm/key and get your key manually too. You shouldn't have to wait for anything.
Was really glad to see ping.fm show up as an app. works wonderfully for me. and better than having to go to the ping.fm web page in the browser and post things. :)
I have been updating ping.fm by SMS forever now, this APP is cool, but doesn't offer much more in functionality than just using SMS. My $.02
I agree. I have also been using SMS to Ping my stuff. Still, it's a cool app with lots of potential if the programmer chooses to do more with it.
The best part of the app, it comes with a character counter! No patch needed...
Cannot download either through preware (brings me to palm app window that states ' this is not a palm application), and also tried entering the download link in this story directly to the pre, but on the pre it states invalid file type (or something like that). Any ideas?
