A question haunts me: What Internet users want?
What Internet users expect from it? What Internet users want from it? These types of questions haunt me since some days. I am searching what Internet users really want from it.
What type of service are they using?
What type of service they would like to use? (Not currently existing)
What are the problems that they are experiencing and that could be resolved by an Internet service?
Why Internet users… use Internet and computers?
These questions could seem silly at first. However, try to answer them, ask them and check for the answers: it is not as simple as it seems.
You, how would you answer to these questions?
There are some concepts you can use to start your thinking: social software, search engines, news networks, sharing networks, community, socialization, getting things done, management, business, store, etc.

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”— Thomas A. Edison
You have problems accessing Ping-O-Matic? Try this new ping service
I have problems to access to the Ping-O-Matic website since some days. I have not been able to access to it today, so I created my own.
If I have problems accessing the service, it is probably the same thing for my readers. So I decided give access to the ping service to my readers to try to accommodate them. This is a test that I am doing, and it is currently under construction. I have implemented a list of 14 services to ping for the first version.
Here his where you can have access to the service:
How it works?
- You enter the title of your blog in the title field
- You enter the URL of your blog in the URL field
- You check the services you want to ping
- You press the “Ping” button and wait until the ping results page appear
Ease no? Yup, it is exactly the same thing as Ping-O-Matic.
I also added a cool little feature to bookmark your settings. So when you will need to re-ping the same services with the same blog title and URL, you will only have to click on your previously created bookmark, and then click “Ping”.
How it works?
- When you finished setting your settings, click on the “star” where it is wrote “Generate the bookmark for these settings”
- You will be redirected to a new page
- Go at the bottom of that page and click on the “Bookmark these settings” link
- Then you only have to click on this bookmark to have access to these settings
I hope you will enjoy using this service. If you find some bugs or have some suggestions to improve the service, send me an email. If you want to talk about the service, go on.
