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

One of my favorites

What did we all do before Free Republic? Well, it might surprise you to know there never was a time before Free Republic. And as good as the forum is now, it was much then.

(you do know about that shameless beg for $$ to keep the lights on?)

Yep, I became a Dollar-A-Day FReeper a couple years ago in hopes on never seeing the smiling goat picture again.

So off I go to wade through 1000 posts just to satisfy my curiosity...

The Freepathon thread is where this unfortunate term originated

Nope. It was started somewhere else, I believe, and brought over there...
