Your idea has virtually no barrier to entry. Expect more people copying it. I could probably write a script to do it in roughly an hour.

Instead, think about how you can add something unique.

Our overall product is much larger, this is really just one feature.

Exactly. It's a feature. And an easy one for anyone to implement.

But. It's also a good idea and take credit where credit's due. I'd take it as an awkward compliment that Pingdom copied it.
