Ping.fm, a free status update tool has now added support for the newly popularized Plurk as well as My Mashable and Xanga, according to Ping.fm blog. In other word, it mean Ping.fm users can submit their updates from this Ping.fm site to a total number of fourteen (14) social services, such as the aforesaid three new sites, and Bebo, Blogger, hi5, Jaiku, Twitter, MySpace, just to name a few.

I prefer this type of service, especially in a time-crunch and wanted so much to post my latest update to my friends that follow me. Our friendship has thus maintained in that manner, and I knew how difficult it would be to catch up with each other when we’re all based in different regions. By the way, I tried it just now, albeit with a short message that is able to post to Twitter, while on my Facebook, my Facebook status didn’t showed the message.

Ping.fm is still in beta phase. If you want to try the service, you can key-in the beta code, i.e. landofping that Ping.fm shared with me. Enjoy.
