Yeay!

Here's the news.

Anyone know if AOL will have TrackBack support?

Update: Err. As Dave points out, it's Manila, not Radio. But it sounds like Radio is next, so yeay anyway.

Actually that's Manila that got Trackback. That's the earlier, centralized weblog CMS. Radio will get it next, doing Trackback for a desktop tool like Radio is quite a bit harder (the server is dumb, the smarts are on the desktop, but the server usually isn't publicly addressable, a necessary thing for Trackback).

AOL's definitely considering TrackBack for Journals. They like the idea, but are focused (quite understandably) on getting 1.0 out the door.

Anil: You'd know a helluva lot better than I, but y'know, I'll be stunned if AOL ever supports Trackback. Deep pockets and a massive server farm are great, but at the end of the day, the bandwidth and CPU time demanded by a couple million new bloggers trying to autodiscover RDF and wait for ping responses from Joe's Slow Blog has gotta be justified on the balance sheet.
