You are too awesome for Ping-o-matic

Why am I too awesome for Ping-o-matic?

EDIT

I am posting to pingomatic but not POSTing to pingomatic. Their setup just takes a simple GET request

    Pingomatic requires the user agent header be set. Adding this fixes the problem:

    curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0" );

    The code would then look like

    $curl = curl_init($this->buildURL());
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0" );
curl_exec($curl);
