You can find more of Phil's plugins here.

TrackBack at OSCON

If you're at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, then you might be interested in checking out TrackBack at OSCON. The purpose of this page is to supplement ORA's existing weblog coverage and provide a listing of weblog entries regarding OSCON-related topics.

TrackBack at MetaFilter

Matt Haughey has written a TrackBack implementation for MetaFilter. You can read more about it here.

For now, it's more an experiment to see how TrackBack can serve to supplement the existing discussion atmosphere. It is, of course, very exciting because of MeFi's large user base; the more people using TrackBack (or, at least seeing it being used), the more likely new uses will be discovered. And of course, the greater the chance of other developers implementing TrackBack into their own tools.

TrackBack for other services

Three neat developments on the non-MT use of Trackback front:

Pete Holiday is developing a remote TrackBack system; he's even set up a Proof of Concept weblog over at Blogspot. Here's more information.

Also, David Watson has made it possible to use TrackBack with Radio weblogs. Here's more information.

Finally, PB has wired his own comment system to accept TrackBack pings.

Non-theoretical use of Category pinging

Kristine's multiple author example mentioned in the introducing TrackBack post is live over at theredkitchen.net.

Learn more about its usage on this page.

I've posted a favorite cookie recipe of mine.

You're encourage to use the TrackBack feature to post recipes, but please do *not* use this example to just test out TrackBack.

Use this TrackBack development weblog to test out the feature.
