Blogging FAQs and Definitions
What is a Trackback?
TrackBack is a system implemented by many blogging
tools, including Movable Type, that allows a blogger to see
who has seen the original post and has written another entry
concerning it. The system works by sending a 'ping' between
the blogs, and therefore providing the alert. TrackBack typically
appears below a blog entry and shows a summary of what has been
written on the target blog, together with a URL and the name
of the blog. [Source: Wikipedia]

What is a Pingback?
Pingback is a method for Web authors to request
notification when somebody links to one of their documents.
This enables authors to keep track of who is linking to, or
referring to their articles. Some weblog software, like WordPress
support automatic pingbacks where all the links in a published
article can be pinged when the article is published. [Source:

What is Podcasting?
Podcasting involves the recording of internet
radio or similar internet audio programs. These recordings are
then made available for download to your iPod or other portable

radio program while you are away from your computer or at a
different time than the original program was broadcast.

dates, titles, descriptions, and links to audio files. These
links to audio files within RSS, which are used by podcasting
applications, are defined by the RSS enclosure element, supported
by RSS 2.0 and RSS 1.x. [Source: Wikipedia]
