Trackback, hah?! For what it’s worth I have added trackback to my blog. My service provider, Haloscan.com, got their answer to the question “What is TrackBack?” at Wikipedia.com:

Trackback

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia at� ar f�il i nGaeilge chomh maith.

Trackback is a system implemented by Movable Type that alerts and allows a blogger to see who has blogged about posts on his or her blog. The system works by sending a ping between the blogs, and therefore providing the alert.

Trackback typically appears below a blog entry and shows a summary of what has been written on the target blog, together with a URL and the name of the blog.
