Ping.fm COMPLAINT!!!!!!!!!

Ok.. I just spent about 6 minutes writing a blog post using ping.fm. When I clicked ping it, it told me their was an error and to try again. It wiped out everything I had in the box (like a paragraph. It looks like the site has a short logout timer, and it does not warn you when you have been logged out. This is VERY annoying. If I want to log into the site every time I wanna make a new post I might as well log into the parent site I want it to go to in the first place. Anyone know if a good add-on widget or gadget for ping.fm?
