Ping Yahoo! with MovableType
Go into your Weblog config, and add "http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2" to your URLs to ping. So in addition to blo.gs, weblogs.com, and the Moveable Type recent update key, here are all the sites that get pinged in my config:
http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/
http://www.mod-pubsub.org/kn_apps/blogchatter/ping.php
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
Update: http://ping.rootblog.com/rpc.php (got that from here)
Update: http://xping.pubsub.com/ping/ (got that from the comments on Neil's Pinging Service Run Down)
So a total of seven nine sites that get pinged whenever I post. Posts sometimes slow a tad to ping, but it's really not too bad. Besides: I get traffic from all of them, so it's worth it.
Why would you want to ping Yahoo? They are launching an RSS Aggregator.

Blog Pingorama from geek ramblings on 02/27/04 @ 10:10 AM: I found some more fodder for my Blog Service Pinger:
I just ran across Neil's Pinging service rundown, which in turn links to an article about pinging on UtterlyBoring.
There are a couple of ping services mentioned there that I will be adding. ... (Read More)

Dougal Campbell said on 03/01/04 @ 01:31 PM: Huh. At the bottom of your post, it says "TrackBack (0)", but if you click, it shows my trackback....
Dougal Campbell said on 03/01/04 @ 01:33 PM: Okay, waitaminute. NOW it says "TrackBack (1)"... I guess posting a regular comment here made it rebuild. Sorry for the two wasted comments :)
dan said on 05/31/04 @ 11:55 PM: I see that you're still using MT 2.661 (like me). I believe I read that the recently updated keys are no longer honored for showing up on the recently updated list on movabletype.org. You're supposed to use it to get a discount on MT 3.0 (which I'm not planning to do, but that basically makes the keys worthless now).
Jake said on 06/02/04 @ 01:47 PM: Oh that's lovely. I have no itention, at least right now, of moving to MT 3.0. I haven't looked through my ping logs to see if the pings are getting rejected, but I'll just keep it in my config for now.
dan said on 06/02/04 @ 02:30 PM: It's not causing errors in the logs, I believe they're just silently ignoring them. I posted a new entry, then looked at the recently updated list and my site was not there, even after reloading every few seconds for a minute or two.
It kind of stinks.
tallglassofmilk said on 11/29/04 @ 09:41 PM: More sites to ping:
Tooling your blog with this...
Jake said on 11/30/04 @ 09:12 AM: Yeah, I've seen that, tallglassofmilk, and was going to do a recent post about it. Thanks!
R2G said on 07/22/05 @ 11:05 AM: Pingoat - http://pingoat.com . This service pings over 50 blog services all atonce !
TheMonkeyKing said on 09/26/05 @ 12:59 PM: I've started a ping service called Blog Buzz Machine, you can ping us at http://rpc.blogbuzzmachine.com/RPC2 or via web form at http://www.blogbuzzmachine.com
Apoc said on 05/09/06 @ 08:03 PM: There's a great ping relay service at http://pingomatic.com that forwards pings on to all the major services... and they have a great web interface for doing manual pings also!
