Are you hoping to post to MODx from Pingfm or to Pingfm from MODx? The latter is easy the former is tricky and filled with security issues.
Let me know what you were thinking.

To Modx from Ping.fm micro-blogging style, as that is kind of the point of Ping.fm. Problematic?
They have a ton of supported blogging platforms already such as Wordpress, Blogger and Tumblr etc so I guessed it would be doable.

Ok, I’ll do my best and we’ll how it goes. Thanks for the links too.
It might not be bad to create a very limited manager user who can only create documents in a single parent document group and use that user explicitly for submitting posts as part of such a script. It doesn’t make sense to open up to being able to access the manager from a script. I have considered such actions for blog posts from a remote editor too. So a secret (random url) with restricted user access to only perform specific adds and even better to only permit such adds from a specific referrer (this can be spoofed). I would strongly recommend using the MODx api directly to login, create the document and log out.
