Not sure why, but it seemed to take a while before Technorati picked this post up. The good news, though, is that Technorati shows that this entry links to my Paradox Island blog. If you go to my Technorati profile, you should see Paradox Island as one of my blogs. If you click on it, the browser will load the http://osolage.typepad.com/myworld" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Technorati info page for the blog.

Not sure why, but it seemed to take a while before Technorati picked this post up. The good news, though, is that Technorati shows that this entry links to my Paradox Island blog.

On the left side bar, you'll see the "Recent Inbound Links" section. In that section, you'll see an entry for my clipmark that links one of my Paradox Island blog posts.

I think the thing that I'm really proving here is that trackbacks aren't necessarily important. I mean, Clipmarks apparently didn't send a trackback ping to my Paradox Island blog. When you browse the post that is the source for the clipmark, I don't see a link back over to the clipmark. So my blog doesn't know anything about the clipmark, but Technorati does.

So if my blog doesn't know about other resources that link to it, how am I to bring attention to discussions related to what I'm discussing? I guess there must be some tool from Technorati that I can use to display the links that it's collected. I know I've seen it before. There was an article about MySpace that had a little Technorati insert in it. The Technorati insert information about how many other sites linked to that one particular article. The insert also had a very short list of blog posts that referred to the article. So if I can find something similar, I guess that would be how I include others in my discussions. Seems like something cool to try.
