Radio does trackback

Christian Crumlish

I just got pinged by Don Park. It kind of tickles.

Jake Savin has completed work on Trackback for Radio. It looks very cool. It seems to do the autodiscovery and outgoing pinging automatically based on your entry links (so you can't selectively ping or not, unless you don't link).

Actually Don's entry pinged me twice, but I'll manually delete the second one. There might be an issue when pages rebuild? or when archive pages repeat the ping? I've linked to him here in MT and I'm manually pinging him as well. Not sure if that will produce one or two pings.

Anyway, very cool for Radio. I will have to think about including it in Mediajunkie, which could be confusing. I may have to wait till I think of a new use for Radio.

UPDATE: It looks like it tried to ping Don twice once with an escaped ampersand: http://radiocomments.userland.com/comments$trackback?u=112479&p=793 and once without: http://radiocomments.userland.com/comments$trackback?u=112479&p=793. Not sure which if either or both will hit the mark.

Adding a Blogging Layer with w.bloggar: Matt Croydon's postneo blog contains a pointer to w.bloggar. I'm not sure what the right term for this is, an interface for blogging? middleware? It posts to Blogger and MovableType as well as a few other tools, pings weblogs.com and offers other management services. I suppose one way of aggregating blogs... (Weblog Concepts)
Possible to Annotate my Events Log in Radio?: A method for annotating and archiving my Events log would, I think, shed light on my iterative editorial process and acknowledge the effort (in the sense of crossing out items on a to-do list). Otherwise, I just cringe at old posts with typos and sentence fragments, shrug, and then move on.... (Weblog Concepts)
Correction: Re MSNBC's Blogs: Thanks to Scott Rosenberg's clarification I realize that I leapt to conclusions without reading closely enough. If MSNBC will simply be listing their journalist's blogs (Alterman, Kaus, et al.?), then I suppose what replaces their messag boards will be the comments function? I suppose that would tend to focus conversation on... (Salon Bloggers)
