Its pretty simple, I have one on my other website....

Technorati accepts XML-RPC pings to rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping. Your XML-RPC message should look like this:
HTTP Request Header

* POST /rpc/ping HTTP/1.0
* User-Agent: YOUR AGENT HERE
* Host: rpc.technorati.com
* Content-Type: text/xml
* Content-length: 250

XML message


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>YOUR WEBLOG NAME HERE</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>http://www.YOURWEBLOGURL.com/</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>

I think we should create a article ping plugin, that we can list a number of URLs to ping... will look into it

I think it should go into CORE.
Thats a pretty important thing for a website to have.
