Ping.sg is a local community. Unlike global communities like stumbleupon, ping.sg has its advantages over their competitors because they understand their local audience better.

Ping.sg is great … for youngsters who are only interested in gossip and sex.

Sorry Maia, but I would never advise anyone to go ping.sg, especially students, to see what Singaporeans are talking about. They would walk away with the conclusion that all Singaporeans are just shallow, sex-in-the-brain, idiots.

I think Ping.sg should give categories so that the larger Singaporean population could get some sort of representation.

Btw, I am guilty of link baiting myself because I wanted to see if I could end up in the top 10. It was so easy to get there. Just write crap and a sex or freebie or hate post title. If that is what represents Singapore, that’s a really big shame.

I think someone should come up with an alternative already. In the meantime, other social bookmarking sites are tons better, with real communities, even of Singaporeans!

There are many more social bookmarking sites out there that provide a better service than ping.sg

So what makes it special? Ping.sg is geared towards Singaporean/Malaysian bloggers. The relation is close and tight, that’s why local bloggers love it, due to the fact that the friends they make with on ping.sg are actually close to them.

If only ping.sg allowed for a “REAL and USEABLE” feedback section or something. Coz “sex” coming at the top of the headlines every single thing is starting to look disgusting and it just shows what kind of people Singaporeans are..

Anyway, nice article

Well, there is a Digg community. So I think you’re wrong on that count although the Ping.sg community might be more inclusive.

You’ve left out one of the most important functions - it has created a COMMUNITY.

Unlike other blog aggregators, ping.sg not only serves to aggregate blogs - it has aggregated people, most importantly, local bloggers.

Pingsters can tell you they’ve grown many friendships here that extend beyond the cyber realm into the real world.

That is the true value of ping.sg.

You can digg, stumbleupon or whatever, but you may not have that community spirit.

You know, I didn’t know about the [+] and [-] function. Most of the times when I go to the site, I don’t log in.

And when I do, I never noticed it. I only noticed ‘My Favs’ on the sidebar. Didn’t realize it also led to ‘My Hates’. Nice.

My bad. I just tried it out and now I see how useful it can be. Useless blogs out the door!
