The URLs you provided are examples of RPC (Remote Procedure Call) ping services or Weblog Update Services. These services allow you to notify multiple search engines, aggregators, and other services that your blog or website has been updated.
The specific URLs you mentioned are:

1. Google Blog Search Ping (http://blogsearch.google.co.hu/ping/RPC2): This is a legacy service that was used to notify Google Blog Search of new or updated content.
2. Ping-O-Matic (http://rpc.pingomatic.com/): This is a popular service that pings multiple update services at once, including Google Blog Search, Yahoo, Bing, and others.

These services use the XML-RPC (XML Remote Procedure Call) protocol to receive notifications from bloggers and website owners. When you send a ping request to these services, they will notify the search engines and aggregators that your content has been updated, which can help improve your website's visibility and indexing.

Note that Google Blog Search is no longer available, and the ping service is no longer supported. However, Ping-O-Matic is still active and can be used to notify multiple services of updates to your website or blog.

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) ping services and Weblog Update Services are two different types of network communication protocols:

1. RPC Ping Services:
   • RPC ping services are a way for a client application to remotely execute a function or procedure on a server application.
   • The client sends a request to the server, along with any necessary parameters, and the server executes the requested procedure and sends the result back to the client.
   • RPC protocols, such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and JSON-RPC (JSON Remote Procedure Call), are commonly used for implementing RPC ping services.
   • These services are often used in distributed systems, microservices, and enterprise applications to enable communication and data exchange between different components or systems.
2. Weblog Update Services:
   • Weblog Update Services, also known as Web feed services or RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, are a way for website owners to publish and share new content with their subscribers or readers.
   • When a website is updated with new content, the weblog update service generates a feed that contains information about the new content, such as the title, description, and a link to the full article.
   • Subscribers can then use RSS feed readers or aggregators to subscribe to these feeds and receive notifications or access the new content from multiple websites in a centralized location.
   • Weblog Update Services are commonly used by blogs, news sites, and other content-driven websites to keep their readers informed about the latest updates and changes.
