Request for Ping.fm beta code
Ping.fm looks totaly coolio. This is exactly the kind of service that builds the Open Mesh.
What does one have to do to get a Beta code invite? Blog about it? 
One way that Ping.fm could help us build the Open Mesh would be to save off and load in the list of services/sources one uses and a list of destinations one sends their stuff to.
These two lists of services can then be utilized by other services - enabling the user to keep only ONE set of lists updated. So when users want to add another communication service, blogging tool, social network, media gallery, news or activity stream reader to your bag of tricks - they only have to go to one place and update the list - once - and all the participating services would get that updated list.
Bam!
My mesh is expanded.
We call the service that reads the list of destinations and places it inside of a blogging tool/editor - OutputThis. Its been up for a while but nobody else uses it then us. But it’s GPL 0f if anyone wants a copy.
I just LOVE what ping.fm is doing. Its very validating to see people launch and run services like that. I wonder what they think their business model is?
The mashable beta code has run out, so I need a new one. Please.
