This trackback thing...

...is more trouble than its worth....
I just did my own little trackback to the Nerfman post to this one, and I can see why most people don't use the feature. It's just too cumbersome. Unless it's a very serious conversation, or work-related, I wouldn't expect it to be used so much. But at least I know how now.
The biggest bottleneck seems to be with having to login to Haloscan to do it. Does everyone have to use Haloscan to make a trackback? I think so, at least at this point. Maybe in the future they'll make it easier.
