 * I have just setup wordpress for my first blog. I see that a ping is sent when
   a new post is created. Is there any pinging done when a comment is posted? If
   so, please explain what is pinged?

 * Not without a custom plugin. The pings sent when you post a new item tell the
   various update services that you’ve posted a new item. To alert these services
   every time a new comment was made would likely overwhelm the services.

 * Yes my idea was not that good. Once my blog will get more traffic and comments
   it might be rejected from the ping services. Thanks Skippy.
