What does "Ping" mean?

Posted on 07/02/2006 7:57:20 AM PDT by maineman

I see so many people asking to be put on the 'ping list', what does that mean?

I also see that you can be 'pinged' if something you are interested in is posted. Are you notified someway?

Thanks

"What does "Ping" mean?"

It could mean this

Or, it could mean this.

But actually what it means is since I put your name in the to box, I have just PINGED
you to this posting and this thread. Which means, take a looky here.

(Texas speed) Bump......

Ahhh, Texas...if all goes according to plan, I shall be setting my foot light on the precious Texas soil in lo, about threescore days...when the Astros are approaching their zenith and the Texans' tragicomedy curtain rises...when the hurricanes threaten the Gulf and the margarita glasses have beads of sweat running down their sides...

Sorry...I just watched a beautiful sunset and that always makes me spout bad prose. LOL

That is enough! I have watched your Pong bot for an hour and a half, and it is still 15-12. Either fix the link, or ping me when the score changes ~:0)

Ping = Packet InterNet Groper

However in this case it's a backronym or bacronym ... a type of acronym that begins as an ordinary word, and is later interpreted as an acronym....

The uses of "Ping" as something to "echo" return or locate predates the internet

What is a Ping?

It is moonlight on a frozen lake


It is the sound of rustling trees as the sun is setting


It is the smell of daffodils at high noon


A ping is to be treasured always in our hearts
