I’ve been experimenting with a new WordPress plugin called Kramer. What it does is query the Technorati service to see who has linked to your entries but not left a Pingback or a Trackback and it creates Technorati Pingbacks for those links. I essentially rewrote the plugin and am continuing to improve on it. I’ll be providing my changes back to the author for eventual public consumption. So if you see Pingback comments with the little green Technorati symbol in the upper right corner, that’s where those came from! It’s pretty cool, especially for bloggers who aren’t Pingback/Trackback savvy. Technorati eventually will notice, and my site will ask it what sites have linked to a specific entry, and a Pingback will be automatically created.
