Spammers spoil the trackback

No one complained about it, which is one more sign that I might have done the right thing. Last week, I turned off the trackback mechanism on this blog. I’ve been hand checking each trackback for months as they come in, with almost no real trackbacks amidst a blizzard of spam. If you’d like to hear about what’s gone wrong with blog trackbacks, or you have an idea of how they can be saved, check out my latest post on Internet Evolution, “Spammers Spoil the Trackback.”
