It’s just data

Trackback policy


Phil Ringnalda: I don't think the semantics of TrackBack really require that the pinger link to the pingee

True, but this provides an interesting example of how I approach problems and protocols. Wen you look it it, even though the end results apears to be much different, the fundamentals we both are applying are basically the same.

Phil identified this trackback as looking like spam. He reserves the right to retroactively delete any such entries on his weblog. I simply reserve the right to be more proactive.

When I look at the Trackback spec, I don't look for guidance on how I should display the results. I have never displayed trackbacks in the "traditional" way, though I notice that more and more people are coming to the same conclusion as I did as to how trackbacks "ought" to be displayed.

Nor to I particularly focus on the methods - I simply look at the data in and the data out. More on this subject in Neurotransmiters. What actions I chose to take based on receiving a particular sequence of data is up to me.
