I wrote a little bit about the weblog “ping crisis” over on the FeedTree blog:

This, as it turns out, is a great advertisement for FeedTree, which uses decentralized multicast to go way beyond pings. Instead of just communicating a single bit (”I’ve updated!”), we distribute the new data as well (”I’ve updated, and here’s what I wrote!”), saving each subscriber another trip to the publisher to get the updated content.
