David Watson has been keeping tabs on the backlinking thread and has collected some great links on the topic. rjsjr offers several different ways to access the backlinks of sites you visit, as well as giving readers easy access to the backlinks for your own pages. His bookmarklets poll Blogdex, Daypop, and Google, so they cover the bases pretty well. rjsjr also offers some good links to coverage of backlinking in its sidebars. Meanwhile, drop.org fills in some history of backlinks, with interesting mentions of the Amaya browser from the W3C -- probably the ultimate example of unfulfilled promise on the Web.
So I still don't understand why the "blogosphere" or whatever isn't all gaga over backlinks. I mean, if the point is to create conversations, what better way is there?
(Unrelated, but also covered by Watson, is Bloglet a service that allows your readers to subscribe to email notifications of updates to your site. This is something that Moveable Type automates, but Radio seems as if it's not important (asfaik). Kind of surprising, since Radio bills itself as a content management tool rather than a simple blogging tool, while MT seems primarily interested in blog creation and maintenance.)
