John Roberts: Randy Charles Morin on The RSS Blog notes: "I've noticed that I enjoy linking more to people w/ trackbacks enabled than those who do not have trackbacks enabled." (We'll see if my TrackBack link to Randy's post succeeds.) That was certainly a part of supporting TrackBack on CNET News.com. Since posting about the public introduction, I've monitored the links and found lots of interesting places around the web where people are commenting on news stories.
Randy: Never got the trackback :( Of course, my complete hatred of HTML comment based trackbacks might be the cause. Cool that CNet has trackbacks :)
Update: I finally decided to enable the HTML comment-based trackbacks HACK.
