A correction to the Yahoo Ping URL: you actually need to use *your own* Application ID, not just "appid=YahooDemo"
Otherwise it's just a dummy ping. The link to get your own App ID is on their sitemap ping page:

Well, top is subjective, and those big 3 are the main ones by many fold in terms of traffic; maybe 80% of organic search traffic for all sites. I don't think there are 100 that accept sitemap pinging. What do you seek such a list for?

Your site seems to be running an Apache server with PHP installed; one can have the server generate the xml sitemap when requested with real-time modification dates/times on such a set up. Specific solutions depend on whether or not your site uses some sort of content management system (CMS), or is simply static files. If you'd like me to assist in your specific configuration, contact me directly. If you have more general questions that would be relevant to other people too, comment here.
