Jeff's latest article on Coding Horror "The Day that Trackbacks Died" discusses the use of a new website called Technorati which receives ping notifications either manually or automatically from blogging sites. Using a simple javascript insert, you are then able to retrieve from Technorati who else has linked to your blog. I am very impressed with the simplicity of this solution and the way that it works. It's intent is the same as a trackback, but it is more limited to just blogs, where the trackback can also be used for simple web pages that don't send notifications back to the blog until someone clicks the link and uses a page referrer or embedded code to work.
If you have a blog, I encourage you to check it out.
