Joshua Kaufman is TrackBack Enabled
Movable Type 2.2 came out last week and with all of its cool new features, of course I had to update.
One of its new features is called Trackback, which Mena Trott describes as “a framework for peer-to-peer communication between weblogs.” What does that mean? Well, I don’t think anyone (including Ben and Mena) has completely realized what this means for weblogs; but from what I gather, it’s the basis for a whole new type of social network architecture - an Emergent Architecture if you will. Rather than get into the details of what this means, I’ll point to Mena’s original post on TrackBack explaining how it works. (Incidentally, this post is also pinging Mena’s TrackBack post so once you’re there, you should see this entry linked from the TrackBack popup.) I’m sure that some very cool uses of TrackBack are just around the corner.
