Comments on: Is PPS Dead? http://www.heritage-tech.net/537/is-pps-dead/ A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:22:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: mypapit http://www.heritage-tech.net/537/is-pps-dead/#comment-51585 mypapit Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:52:00 +0000 http://www.heritage-tech.net/537/is-pps-dead/#comment-51585 Hi there Azmeen, I haven't send a ping to Project Petaling Street since last year, I think its has lost my appeal since they refuse to move out to the now standard xml-rpc ping interface. It is understandable that blogtal such as PPS is prone to SPAM, but what makes it worth is, they didn't bother to reinforce the "list of blog allowed to ping" through trackback itself is most disappointing. Instead, they relies more on security by obscurity, by hiding the trackback url which obviously doesnt work well (as evidence by spam pings) Obviously they need to modify the PPS ping system to counter these spams.

Obviously they need to modify the PPS ping system to counter these spams.

I think you have the skills and dedication rite. Azmeen how about you setting up an even better blogtal than PPS. I think you have the skills and dedication rite.

Although the technology behind PPS <em>(trackbacks)</em> can be considered ancient, and not to mention it has to be the most uninteractive blogtal ever, but it served a <em>market</em>. However, just leaving PPS to fade out in this way, to me is just an unfitting end to a blogtal that had contributed a lot to the Malaysian blogosphere. crynobone,

But considering the fact that they manage to stay this long might suggest the revenue is good but can't substance the cost to grow.
