Sping : a spam ping that is a fake or bogus notifications that a blog has been updated; in some cases, these spings can amount to a denial-of-service attack, as coined(does anyone have a earlier usage?) by Technorati CEO David Sifry’s in his February 2006 State of the Blogosphere address, also posted on the technorati blog
If a Spam blog or Splog causes a wave of pings, is that a sping?
