My friends are awesome. I try to keep up with comments and I'm so prolific I can't shut up. I was just updating my profile and came across my pings. OMG! Thanks to my wonderful pingers. I will start to ping my friends. Be looking for a ping near you! Love you guys. Have a great Thursday, and remember:

Spring is near, and so is Friday.

i dont like pings because i forget about them gather should put an icon at the top of the page to let us know when we get them

B C. Mar 13, 2008, 8:57am EDT

I've no idea what a ping on here is so I hope I'm not supposed to be doing it.

Ashley B. Mar 13, 2008, 9:03am EDT

I forget about them, because I dont often look at my profile. I already know myself!

reply to this comment

Marilyn M. Mar 13, 2008, 9:28am EDT

I'm with you. I forget all about the ping thing. Then I'll go and discover 3 or 4 I've ignored.

penni d. Mar 13, 2008, 9:30am EDT

hard to remem to LOOK at the pings, carol..i was pleasantly surprised a bit ago to see
that i HAD some...they were cool, too... :)

Dusty Hubbard Mar 13, 2008, 9:43am EDT

Don't worry you're not as bad of a pinger as me. I don't even know how to ping yet!!

reply to this comment

Sophie S. Mar 13, 2008, 9:45am EDT

I forget the pings too.

reply to this comment

Chris E. Mar 13, 2008, 9:53am EDT

I always forget about them. I think I might just turn the option off because I don't want people to think I am ignoring them.

reply to this comment

Samantha V. Mar 13, 2008, 10:13am EDT

I forget about them too...

reply to this comment

Jen M. Mar 13, 2008, 10:21am EDT

I check them occasionally and notice a few that have sitting there. BUT I don't ping others very often.

reply to this comment

Robyn F. Mar 13, 2008, 10:21am EDT

it does get complicated if you dont go to the profile!

reply to this comment

Dawn S. Mar 13, 2008, 10:22am EDT

too funny. I just discovered it yesterday too!

reply to this comment

Christopher B. Mar 13, 2008, 10:27am EDT

Not that I am aware. I don't notice pings until I go to my profile to update it.

reply to this comment

Mary (diet dr pepper junkie) T. Mar 13, 2008, 10:34am EDT

since we haven't been getting the same notifications I've forgotten to check - I'll do that today. thanks for the reminder.

reply to this comment

Patty H. Mar 13, 2008, 10:36am EDT

The only way I remember about pings is I have to aprove them and I get an e-mail when I get one. If not I would never remember that they are there.

reply to this comment

Good-bye A. Mar 13, 2008, 10:37am EDT

I just discovered my pings. I happened to go to my profile page (not done often) and there they were. It's true. They should let us know somehow when we get one.

reply to this comment

J F. Mar 13, 2008, 10:37am EDT

I just discovered my pings the other day and wrote an article about. I probably won't be pinging anyone. I don't do the email in here, either. I think I emailed one person in here in over a year I have been on here.

reply to this comment

Bonnie S. Mar 13, 2008, 10:50am EDT

I forget about pings also.

reply to this comment

K S. Mar 13, 2008, 11:10am EDT

so .... what is the difference between a ping and an email? .... they are just the same thing but go to different places ...... at least, that is what it looks like to me .... I just discovered pings about a week ago .... had no idea that it was happening until I came across them by chance ......

like everyone else .... I rarely go to my profile .... I already know myself .... :o)

reply to this comment

K S. Mar 13, 2008, 11:12am EDT

anyone else on here notice the time stamp on our comments? ..... I just made a comment, and the time stamp says 11:10am EST ..... but, with Daylight Savings Time, the clocks were set ahead LAST SUNDAY [or was it Saturday?] ... and the time stamp SHOULD read 12:10pm EST ..... just curious ....

Elaine A. Mar 13, 2008, 11:18am EDT

I forget pings ...oh gee I have to check my pings...

reply to this comment

Rachel D. Mar 13, 2008, 11:19am EDT

I don't even know what a ping is or how to do it or what the purpose is. Can someone explain this?

reply to this comment

Barb (Gather Site Ferret) Carlson Mar 13, 2008, 11:20am EDT

Don't they notify you of pings??

reply to this comment

sheila ~the hapless housewife~ j. Mar 13, 2008, 11:31am EDT

I never think to check mine.

reply to this comment

Hollie ~TNR Works~ Mar 13, 2008, 12:16pm EDT

I always forget to check my pings. I wish they had a thingy up in the corner to let us know when we receive pings like they let us know when we have mail, or invites.

reply to this comment

Nanci B Mar 13, 2008, 12:27pm EDT

I did one ping in return for one received the very first day they were available. Now, not only do i not ping, I don't even check to see what I have.

They are like junior high school autograph books and I have been out of junior high for nearly 40 years.

reply to this comment

Nanci B Mar 13, 2008, 12:28pm EDT

P.S. - I get emails when I get a ping, I think. Isn't there a setting for them in you email communications section?

reply to this comment

Hollie ~TNR Works~ Mar 13, 2008, 12:36pm EDT

There is a setting to get emails, but I get so many emails from this site it's easy for them to get lost I'm sure.

K.S. Yes the time stamp is not in tune with daylight savings time it seems.

I agree with angela M. I forget to check my pings, too. An icon would be nice.
