Thanks to everyone for the info.
If I wanted people to ping me if they posted a certain type of story, how would I do that?
I am trying to create a way of finding good news postings.
My wife refers to them as Fluffy Bunny stories.
When you ping your list add a line that says something like: "Please ping me to any Fluffy Bunny stories." Your pingees will 'ping' you whenever they see a good news story.
Please add me to your Fluffy Bunny ping list.

Oxfam’s Jane Beesley visits Myanmar (Burma) and encounters an astonishing spirit among communities rebuilding after Cyclone Nargis tore their lives and livelihoods apart less than a year ago.
A small pink fluffy bunny has been slapping me in the face. It’s neither an illusion nor a dream: three of us are sitting in the back of a taxi, and the passenger windows are covered in cartoon characters and fluffy toys. It is surreal, though, because we’re in the Ayeyarwady delta region of Myanmar, where Cyclone Nargis wreaked devastation last May - leaving more than 130,000 people dead or missing, and affecting around 2.4 million people.
