³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News to Accept Trackback Pings
I thought this up a while back, but it's worth repeating in this arena.
Basically, bloggers tend to reference ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News all the time. It would be good to be able to track all these references, and then be able to see what bloggers are saying about any one ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news article.
My original proposal was to create trackback URIs for each ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news article, with embedded RDF to enable auto-discovery and URIs that can be predicted from the URL of the article. I still think that this would be one of the best ways to implement it, but it might require some kind of moderation and, of course, wouldn't work for the articles already published.
So, some alternatives might be to simply track incoming referrals, and somehow weed out the blogs from the spam/unrelevant, or to use one of the newer technologies like pingback, etc.
You might think that sites like blogdex, technorati, etc already monitor what blogs are linking to, but they're not 100% accurate or complete, and don't always link to the permalink of the blog.
