Ping.sg - Singapore Meta Blog



Ping.sg is a meta blog that displays an excerpt of blog posts written by its members, primarily Singapore bloggers. The benefits are two prong:
- a convenient one-stop to read local blogs.
- a place where bloggers can interact and promote their blogs.

Ping.sg also features a shoutout box and a forum.

How It Works
Upon receiving a 'ping', an extract from the latest blog entry is posted on Ping.sg. Whenever someone clicks on the link on Ping.sg, the blog entry receives a 'pong' (i.e. a vote) and the visitor is taken to the author's blog to read the entire post. The top 10 blog entries that receive the most 'pongs' within 24 hours are displayed at the top of the mainpage.

Ping.sg is the brainchild of Chua U-Zyn, a Computer Engineering major of NUS and freelance web designer.
