[wp-hackers] Trackback and Pingback in WordPress

[Mark Jaquith]

You can't rely on rel="trackback"... you really have to look for the 
RDF.  Lowest common denominator, and all.

Any ideas on how we can keep the post time to a minimum?  A site with 10 
links to 10 different sites would take a while to post, searching for PB 
and TB on each one.  Perhaps we could save the entry, then redirect the 
poster to a list of all the links with a "Ping" checkmark next to each.  
It could attempt to send a Trackback, and if no Trackback URI is found, 
attempt to send a Pingback.  Or maybe the other way around.
