Pingomatic has become the most popular pinging service due to its simplicity. It does one thing and does it fairly well, considering the number of people using it (according to their stats page, it handles about 20M+ pings a day). This tool contacts over 22 different search engines to let hem know that you have updated your site’s content.

Some tools, like Wordpress, have the ping address - rpc.pingomatic.com - listed by default, automatically sending out a notice when you’ve updated. You can also go to the Pingomatic main page hand enter your blog address and update your site manually. To keep up with what’s happening with them - yep they have a blog - http://blog.pingomatic.com/.
