Ping Fire (Beta)

Well that was quick!  The people at Ping have approved Ping Fire.  I’m going to consider the extension in beta mode as only two people have looked at it.

If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to email me or post a comment.

Installation Instructions

  1. Download and Install PingFire.
  2. Add the “Ping” button to a menu.  You can do this by going to View >> Toolbars >> Customize.
  3. Provide the extension with your Application Key.  (You can find your key by going to: http://ping.fm/key.) From within Firefox, go to Tools >> Add-Ons.  Find “Ping Fire” in the list then click the “Preferences” button. Enter your User Name and your Application Key into the fields provided then click “Ok.”

Ping Fire Release - Almost

Ping Fire is ready for open testing.  I’ve been using it these past few days with no problems.  The download link is below.  Unfortunately, I still need to get Ping’s blessing before the application will work for anyone but me.

Installation Instructions

  1. Download and Install PingFire.
  2. Add the “Ping” button to a menu.  You can do this by going to View >> Toolbars >> Customize.
  3. Provide the extension with your Application Key.  (You can find your key by going to: http://ping.fm/key.) From within Firefox, go to Tools >> Add-Ons.  Find “Ping Fire” in the list then click the “Preferences” button. Enter your User Name and your Application Key into the fields provided then click “Ok.”

Editor’s Note: About an hour after this post the people at Ping let me know that PingFire was approved! So now everyone can use it.  Just remember that the plug-in is still in beta.
