duplicate pings from radio weblogs. Apparently Radio is now offering trackback tools for its weblogs. I know this because I’ve gotten pinged by several of them today. This would be a Good Thing, but for one problem—most of them have been duplicate pings. Some pinged me twice, some pinged me as many as four times. Ick. I’ve manually deleted a bunch of the extra pings from the entries, so that they don’t clutter up my pages. But if anyone from Radio is reading this (like Jake Savin, maybe), I’d be grateful if they’d look into what it is about either the infrastructure or the interface... [mamamusings]

While Trackback is now available it would seem that all the bugs aren't quite worked out yet. I've passed this report on to the Jake at "Userland."

TrackBack for Radio is released. Radio supports both inbound and outbound TrackBack pings. For outbound TrackBack, all you have to do is enable the feature, and Radio will do the rest. Inbound TrackBack works similarly to comments -- a TrackBack link next to each post opens a pop-up window which displays inbound pings. To enable TrackBack for Radio, follow the instructions on this page. By lawrence@userland.com (Lawrence Lee). [UserLand Product News]

I managed to test outbound Trackback pings during the beta test of this new feature. Since I host my comments on a separate Manila site I wasn't able to test inbound Trackbacks. If I set things up correctly, this item ought to be pingable if one of my Trackback enabled readers would be so kind.
