Google Blog Search is now accepting pings and republishing the updates it observes. You can submit an update using XML-RPC or REST, similar to other blog services and easily added to your weblog's ping configuration.
RPC endpoint: http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
Google publishes the last 5 minutes of ping activity in its changes.xml file. It is possible to receive pings of different recency by adding the last parameter to your request with a number of seconds between 1 and 300.
The new service is a change in Google's view of the web, accepting the value of fresh index content within minutes instead of waiting for the regular polling schedule.
