Typepad Trackback & Pingback
I have never used Typepad, I have never felt the need. I started with Blogger a couple of years ago, quickly progressed to using predominantly Wordpress and never looked back.
When I link to a Wordperss blog, most of the time I can just use pingback which autodiscovers the trackback URL for any blog I link to within a post and sends a trackback to the blog owner.
On some Wordpress blogs they have removed the pingback code to reduce spam. Fair enough I enter a trackback URL if I want to give them a signal that I have written something that might be worth their while reading.
On Blogger there are now linkbacks powered by Google blogsearch, so you can tell who has linked to you. A Blogger user can also send

That means:-
- You are not being referenced on the site sending the trackback

Interviewed By Martin | Blogger Trackbacks | Technorati Junk
A few days ago I was interviewed by email by Martin Lindsey.
When I checked on Wednesday due to timezones it hadn’t been published yet, Thursday I was so buried in code, themes and plugins I didn’t spot it being published (yes I need more vanity Google Alerts), and so I am linking through to it today.

Trackbacks to Moveable Type and Hacked Wordpress Sites
Am I the only one who feels slightly disconnected from the conversation when blogs using Moveable Type, or a modified Wordpress installation don’t trackback.
If your blog doesn’t trackback, I am less inclined to link to you and join your conversation. I might just comment, but that doesn’t send my readers to see what you wrote either.

SocialRank The Next Quechup? – Stinking Splog Or Long Tail Meme Tracker?
It is interesting how your perception of new technology can vastly depend on how you have interacted with them, and how the developers have responded. Unfortunately in the case of the recently launched niche tracking startup, "rank" has multiple definitions, including one items position related to another based upon a particular rating, or a rather offensive smell.
At its core, my first impression of SocialRank niche websites was that it was little more than a Wordpress splog scraping my content based upon keywords used and giving some kind of relevant or irrelevant ranking based upon some internal algorithm.
It is still my content
