Is Trackback Obsolete?

PubSub Enables the bi-directional web... The PubSub Referenced URI feature enables painless and effort-free bi-directional linking and TrackBack.

I've been using PubSub for a while now, tracking anything in the blogosphere to do with my name or 'cyberSaps.' It is very good. And now they have a similar feature for URLs. Though I don't think that it will replace trackback, as with trackback notification can be instant. With PubSub, I believe that you need to see the other person's link through an aggregator. Still, very useful... Better go look and check my facts ;-)

US mortgage rates decline

The average rate on benchmark 30-year mortgages fell to 5.58 percent, from 5.66 percent last week, Freddie Mac, the mortgage giant, said Thursday in its weekly nationwide survey of mortgage rates. This week's rate was the lowest since 5.52 percent for the week that ended July 11.

Can't pretend to understand why the US's mortgage drops while ours (UK) goes up. Nor why oil is currently priced in dollars allowing the US to run a harebrained deficit.

Smart Manila

Stephen Dulaney announces that the SmartManila beta is up. It is a slick editing interface for Manila weblogs. This software makes it much easier to introduce nontechnical newbies in your organization to weblogging. No knowledge of tags necessary. Spell check. Undo. Forgiving editing interface (none of the browser problems you currently run into on all Web-based weblogging systems.

I'm testing this out at the moment.and thinking that I may move back over to Manila. with Radio though I have more power... I also crave simplicity. Manila has loads of that.
