TrackBack and PingBack by CNET News

This evening as I looked around the net for something truly interesting to present (lacking the energy after a full day of doing website and advertiser updates), I stumbled across the most amazing bit of information at CNET News.

You watch, in a bit if it hasn't happened already, some "guru" type will write a book about this ... when the information is FREE! In the meantime, get a jump on trackback and pingback - what they are and what they do. Here's a tiny excerpt from the page:

What are TrackBack and Pingback?
TrackBack and Pingback links are records of links made to CNET News.com pages. A publisher sends a ping (or notification) to CNET News.com that a link to the CNET News.com page has been made. CNET News.com records that notification and builds a page including all the notifications, with links back to the linking site.

The implications are clearly huge... not only allowing bloggers and rss'ers to keep readers up to date with great news and more, but in turn, sites can help each other... I'm big on that :)

Take a moment now to read all about it.

All the best,
Theresa
