Personally, I've turned off TrackBacks altogether. Too much work (especially with spammers using trackback now), not enough reward. Technorati actually fulfills the niche of inter-blog communication fairly well, especially when coupled with iceRocket.
Six Apart - ProNet - Submitting TrackBack as an Internet Standard In 2002, Ben and Mena Trott had an idea for how blogging systems could communicate with one another more effectively about the plethora of content being created. They dubbed the idea “TrackBack” and they implemented it in Movable Type. What followed surprised everyone, the idea and technology they created spread like wildfire. Now, several years later, TrackBack is in use by over 50 million blogs and news sites across the Internet....Therefore, Six Apart is beginning the process of submitting TrackBack to the Internet community and establishing TrackBack as a standard. To that end, Six Apart would like to invite anyone who is interested to join a provisional TrackBack Working Group by signing up for the TrackBack-protocol mailing list, and engaging its members in a discussion about the future of TrackBack.
Not to say I'm not interested in future developments of TrackBack....
