Updating the ping list

I would like to update the list of pingable sites, but I have no idea how to check their validity. Perhaps someone who knows could post instructions for checking url's manually so that any willing volunteer could update the list. That would (in my estimation) cause the list to be updated more often, and thus be more accurate and a better resource.

Description of when services are pinged is wrong

The description says:

WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you've updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time you create or update a post

This is not actually correct. Tracing the code it is clear that pings are only fired when a post changes status to the published status. If you unpublish a post, and then publish it again, i twill fire again, however if you edit an already published post (i.e. "update a post") it does not ping the update services.

add explanation how to disable the pinging

All it takes to disable the pining is one filter. I would like to suggest that for the sake of offering clarity and being complete, it is good to show how to disable it.

`add_filter( 'xmlrpc_enabled', '__return_false' );`

Pingshot references are outdated

We have outdated links in reference to PingShot. The old documentation no longer exists.

We should update our link address so it points to Google's PingShot Overview and FAQ, since they own FeedBurner.

XML-RPC Ping Service URL broken

Most of URLS of XML-RPC Ping Services are broken, some of the domain are even not exist.
