Satoshi’s Wireless Weblog: User Interface is an Art but Trackbacks are not. Satoshi is absolutely right that Trackbacks are way too hard to understand and differentiate from comments.
Interesting to think about the mobile analog to trackback and how that should work. Seems like, when I update, I should get a ping and then see the site, comment on it and that should be a trackback so when it changes, I see that on my mobile phone. Kind of like IMing to a with a web site.
Also it is wierd that when you hit Track Back, that you don’t get the permalink address, but just the overall web site. Not exactly right.
