Using Movable Type's TrackBack feature from Radio Userland
I don't know how well this will work, but I'm going for it. "Using Movable Type's TrackBack feature from Radio Userland This is an example of how radio users can interact with the TrackBack feature of Movable Type weblogs. This is by no means exhaustive, particularly with regard to optional XML-RPC parameters, but it does demonstrate what is possible. [on www.davidwatson.org ] I guess it works! Sorry about smaming your TrackBack page with test requests there David. All in the name of education, I guess you'd say.

liveTopics Radio Tool

"Each link goes to a central Topic Table of Contents for my weblog. Where you can see all the postings related to a particular topic grouped together.

Interesting concept. I guess this probably is the closest thing to a master category index page you can get with Radio. I especially like the implementation of the collapsible outlines.

The tool also provides automatic generation of META tags with keywords and a "what i'm talking about" banner showing the topics associated with recent postings." [via "jenny"] [on Curiouser and curiouser!]

Hmmm. Interesting to say the least. I'm thinking one could potentially get a lot of mileage out of a automatic metatags, but there are even more interesting uses for this data yet to be discovered I'm sure.
