It was owned by Yahoo, who are trying to slim down their estate. Yahoo have handed over the operation piecemeal to Automattic; which is a great gesture and tremendous value to the community. A lesser company would have shut it down and torn it apart, but Automattic have agreed to take it on board.

Pin.gs is a service similar to Ping-o-matic which lets people know when a blog has been updated. You can use it for any type of blog, whether its a diet blog specialising in phenphedrine reviews or a pharmaceutical blog containing reviews of which is the best lab coat around. Ping services are an essential part of the blogging ecosystem, so it’s great to have more choice around.
