Conceding the death of trackback

Christian Crumlish

I held out long after all the cool kids had given up on trackback but I haven’t gotten a useful one since Prentiss Riddle pinged me about SXSW panel proposals and a trackback spam attack today finally convinced me to turn it off for all the blogs hosted at Mediajunkie.

Ironically, this post will try to send a trackback ping to Is trackback dead? Are comments on life support? @ Radio Free Blogistan but it will be refused.

Speaking of things that are dead, this blog is also pretty much dead.

Unless someone out there feels like blogging regularly about blogging, I am putting this weblog on deathwatch notice and will eventually transition it to an archive that points to my personal blog.

If you're okay with it, I'll post it here. Y/N?

Memebusting the 12 days of Xmas: Leading up to Christmas this year I was several times sent chain mail claiming that the lyrics to the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" encoded forbidden Catholic catechistic information under Anglican repression. Something smelled fishy about this, not least because it was presented without any evidence, and the correspondence seemed... (Memes)
