No froth, please
Weblogs and the potential shift they represent are the reason some people get glassy-eyed and froth at the mouth over the possibilities and generate the hype which makes the rest of us wish they would go away.
I do not froth at the mouth. When anyone’s watching.
Speaking of which, via Eric, have you seen reversible.org? It’s Joshua Schachter’s totally cool idea for a, it’s this, um. If you link or TrackBack to any URI at reversible.org, it links back to you. Since I’m sending a TrackBack ping from this entry to /testing/trackback/mt, that page will link back to this entry (and then my referrer script will link back to that page once someone follows the link back here, and we’ll see if I get double-link-backed). It’s sort of like Phil Pearson’s Internet Topic Exchange, only you don’t even need to create the channel beforehand, and you don’t need to TrackBack or post from a form: all you need to do is link. Yes, I hear you shouting “it won’t scale, it’ll be overrun with noise and spam!” Eh, so what. It’s a shiny new toy!
Yep. Weblogs just aren’t that important.
Not worth the risk of dehydration over, at least.
Curses, the link created /testing/phil/, but doesn’t actually link back. Odd.
Huh?
I’m not sure that I understand this, but Phil says it’s cool, so it must be cool. Right?
Watch out for spam pinging
Is a Trackback spam? Is a Trackback collector in danger?
Huh?
I’m not sure that I understand this, but Phil says it’s cool, so it must be cool. Right? Update Feb 13, 2003: Adam Rice has a discussion and a cool logo for reversible. Check’em out.
