it varies, in my experience (over the past few days). Sometimes it's really quick, sometimes it's a few minutes.

My ping post this morning was via SMS to e-mail address and it was up within minutes.

strange too... right now I can *reach* ping.fm from my server in Michigan, but not from home in PA...

their server appears to be in OK

I am doing something wrong with it then. I'll investigate around lunch time.

I set up a custom trigger that would automatically update statuses (technically what Plurk counts as) across all of my accounts.
