Interesting. There's a "talkback" section, with two "Anonymous says", followed by "Anonymous posts have been disabled." :~ Marc

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

I believe those are pingbacks from other blogs and not direct comments.

Ah. How does that work, BTW? How does the source blog find the references to it? (or is that not the way it works?) Marc

I find it interesting this is coming from this site. What I remember this was originally a black ops project of Microsoft with the goal of running a Linux style IT department with a focus on integration with windows products. If I remember right, they actually had to set everything up and they are in the middle of Microsoft land. Looking around the site compared to a year ago, it really has changed since I last went onto it.

Frankly, i've never seen this work well. Many blogs don't seem to use it at all, others are spammed to death, and the few remaining just seem to do what this one did: treat them the same as comments, further damaging the already brutal blog-comment-reading experience. I've started seeing blogs here and there using services that track references through Technorati without actually including backlinks on the page itself. I don't know if this is really anything beyond a vanity gadget, but at least it's less confusing.

Each blog-entry has a pingback URL (if the blog engine supports pingbacks) and whenever some other blog (that uses a pingback supporting blog engine) links to this blog entry, it also fetches the pingback URL. The pinged blog can thus get a list of all linking blogs, and some of them convert the pingbacks to comments and quote the first 2-3 lines. Frankly this just leads to comment-spam where spammers pretend to be pingbacks :sigh:

Yeah I've always wondered, what are those things and what's the point of cluttering up a blog's comments area with them?
