"Beginner's guide to trackback. Old news to most here, but with even Radio Userland now implementing the technology, trackback has the potential to be another kind of spam, with gratuitous self-links popping up all over the place. When everyone can blog, will the Blogosphere be the next victim of Usenet's neverending September? Whether providing "community support" or "publishing tool", how long before popular bloggers are forced to implement Bayesian trackback filters?"

I remembered the never ending September: they were called Assholes On Line.

I haven't really been into Trackback, what I've seen hasn't been that useful. I don't switch on comments on my site because I don't want any comments from the great unwashed cluttering up my site. Though I'm looking forward to TrackBack in Radio, as a way of me, continuing a discussion, I guess I'll just have to suck it and see. I'll have power to delete those that contaminate the purity of my site, but that'll piss people off. Hmmm. Oh! The Angst!
