Ping.FM Block

As of 2.0, this module extends the ping.fm module, rather than standing alone (that is, this module now depends on the ping.fm module). This module creates a single block, at the site level, to display recent updates received through ping.fm. The ping.fm module handles setting up the custom URL, and instructs you how to do so (hint: edit your account; you will need to add a new service to your ping.fm, which is the "custom URL" shown in your account information).

This module is useful for personal/blog-type sites that are operated by a single person, or by a company with a handful of people each of which you want to allow to update the site's block via ping.fm. If you want any per-user type functionality, or to store more than one update, the ping.fm node module (included with ping.fm module) is recommended instead. This is a simpler version which does not create nodes for updates, but just stores it in a single variable. (Note, nothing is stopping you from not using the block and using the variable for something else, either).
