At last I found out what trackback really is by way of an excellent explanation at Daring Fireball. Thanx to them for the good and extensive article.
I know that Xaraya already has a shell of a trackback module and it is being worked on by Marcel. I hope they finish it quick. But now that I know more about it thanks to the above article, I think Technorati is a better solution as I don’t have to worry about modules, pings, etc.In a nutshell, TrackBack was designed to provide a method of notification between websites: it is a method of person A saying to person B, “This is something you may be interested in.†To do that, person A sends a TrackBack ping to person B.
TrackBack ping: a ping in this context means a small message sent from one webserver to another.
