ping.fm is dead

Hello,
lately I've been using ping.fm for a couple of weeks because I've found it really useful.
Today I've tried to update my status through sending a mail but I received delivery failures... I then discovered that ping.fm is dead!

Where are you? Yahoo! Fire Eagle

Hello,
the Twitter question was "What are you doing?". The new question is now "Where are you?"

Yahoo! has launched a sort of social application called Fire Eagle for updating your location and share it across other web services.

identi.ca is worse

Hello,
I'm using Twitter in this week and the API works "almost" perfectly while the website is down most of the time.
I've recently heard about identi.ca, so I decided to try it.
My first impression was bad, because I've seen many redirects of the page, and DNS changes sometimes.
But ok, I tried to register and again... I had problems. When I submitted the registration twice it just did nothing.
I then waited for a couple of hours then I've been registered to identi.ca.

Once I tuned all my account settings, the service has gone down. What happened? Too many twitterers have switched and now identi.ca is out of service? In the while Twitter has magically reopened its gate.
