I’m new here. What is it to “ping”
To: mickidawn1969
A “ping” is basically addressing a post to a specific FReeper by name. It also serves as an alert/invitation to visit a given thread.

It marks the post so you can find it easily. To find it, click on PING on the News/Activism page. All recent posts to and from you will be listed.

As you can see from rwi’s and my responses, pinging can serve more than one purpose.
