I've got so used to the notion of blogs as two-way conversations, that I feel off-balance and strangely powerless when faced with a blog that supports neither comments or trackbacks.
In this case, I felt that I'd like to let the readers of this post about usage patterns of Wikis and blogs in education know about my blog post from a few days ago on a similar topic. Usually, I'd just issue a trackback (which seems the polite thing to do). If trackback is not available, I'd leave a comment. Faced with neither, what should I do?
As a relative newcomer to the world of blogs, I skipped the period before comments and trackbacks were commonplace - is there an accepted protocol for connecting blogs where these tools don't exist?
The proposed style of ranking seems to align more with my view, rather than rewarding journalistic "scoop" tactics which replace creativity with gossip.
