decafbad Nails Trackback vs. Talkback
I just wanted to give a resounding yyyyeeeessss when I read lm orchard's take on this whole discussion about automated blog interaction mechanisms vs. the human side. His article really resonated with me.
0xDECAFBAD: Automated Pingback vs Human Talkback - Which is more humane?
Of course, I've never been cracked or assaulted by an exploit of my systems. I don't have unwanted stalkers or abusive anti-fans or malicious kids or babbling spammers after me in this space. Perhaps if I did, my systems might not tend toward such openness. I think this is a statement on many things beyond blogs, but that's a post for other days. Maybe some day I'll have these negative elements facing me, and I'll have to revise my systems and their direction to account for them.
Me too. Did anybody noticed how this discussion stratified with Radio users on one side and Movable Type users on the other? Oops, that leaves out Sam Ruby, but Sam runs so many different blog systems, I can't tell which one he really likes. Regardless, it sure seems like you could develop a psychological profile on Radio and Movable Type users.
