Support for ping.fm

Title:
Support for ping.fm

Area:
Crossposting

Summary:
Would be great if DW supported (or documented how it already supports!) centralised content management using ping.fm.

Description:
The problem I'm solving is the one where I now have five blog accounts - two Dreamwidth, three Livejournal - plus Facebook and Twitter, and want a way to keep using DW as my main blogging host while managing the Hydra from a single central point. DW will automatically crosspost to LJ, but it's not designed to be a central content management portal for different platforms (and it shouldn't have to be).

Livejournal is already a ping.fm supported service, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be overwhelmingly hard to implement similar support in DW. It would be fantastic if DW could provide a custom URL for use with ping.fm as described in this page:

http://pingfm.pbworks.com/Help-With-Custom-URLs

Ping.fm also provide a Google group for developers working with custom URLs, here:

http://groups.google.com/group/pingfm-developers/web/working-with-a-custom-url

Of course in the case that the support is already there but undocumented, could I please request some documentation of it!
