For example, if you link to a <a href="http://www.disenchanted.com/dis/linkback.html">Disenchanted</a> article, it automatically links back to you. Udell writes: <blockquote>More than economy is at work here, though. Offering backlinks is a strategy that furthers the ambition of every blogger to engage other minds. It does so by enlarging the surface area and altering the shape of the posted article, which is the unit of information currency in blogspace.</blockquote> What a groovin' idea. I like that the backlinking is automated, essentially creating new networks of knowledge with every post. Is anyone else doing this? It seems that if this "feature" were included in existing blogging engines, it could change the shape of the net. <br>--------------------<br> Link courtesy of <a href="http://www.kairosnews.org">Kairos News</a> tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.18036 Tue, 25 Jun 2002 06:48:24 -0800 autobacklinking backlinks blogging mecran01 http://www.metafilter.com/16998/ <a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/lpt/a//webservices/2002/05/03/udell.html">Backlinking approaches critical mass.</a> Append the referreral history to the page served and illuminate another dimension of linkspace.
