“A new pingback is waiting for your approval” – the message I got in two emails and when I logged in to the backend of this site.
A new pingback.
What’s a pingback?
I’d always put off Googling the word every time it’d come up in the past but now’s the time, I thought.
My instinct had been right. It’s as dull and boring to me as it sounds. And it confuses me.
Here’s a definition:
A pingback is a special type of comment that’s created when you link to another blog post, as long as the other blog is set to accept pingbacks.
And this page suggests that 90% of these things are spam.
Yawn.
So I’ll mark it as spam and move on.
As you were.
