Has anything replaced the trackback?
In the last year or it seems that most sites have stopped publishing trackback addresses.
What do people do now to get themselves involved in the “global conversation”? At MyBlogLog it was practically impossible to get someone to update a blog post with factual corrections; what are chances someone will manually add a link to your followup story to their post?
Seriously, the trackback was one of the coolest parts of the blogosphere. Without them, I’m at a bit of a loss on building readership. Drop some knowledge on a man?

in the tumblr world, there is the “reblog”, which is trackback 2.0… you can reblog an entry someone has posted, along with whatever additions you want to make to it. From your dashboard you can see all of the reblogs of a given post. Quite cool.
