[Mod-pubsub-developer] TrackBack and blogs

[Asynch M. <asy...@ho...>]

You know, theres a lot of web native pub/sub going on & I don't see
mod_pubsub anywhere on the scene.
Blogs have 'TrackBack' and 'PingBack' (an xml-rpc variant) for web
notifications. The blog community uses 'ping' where I would have used
'notify', but what the heck.

I would like to see how mod_pubsub can be used with TrackBack. The format
for TrackBack is POST with "application/x-form-www-urlencoded", using
specific named values, so it isn't complicated.

Popdex now offers the ability to host TrackBack threads for any arbitrary
URL
TrackBack pings (notifications) can now be sent to Popdex for any arbitrary
URL, thus creating a hosted, third-party TrackBack solution for any URL on
the web.

My idea is that maybe there will at some point be several "Trackback
Aggregation Services", in a similar way that there are several blog update
monitoring services, mainly weblogs.com and blo.gs.
