Pingbacks: like commenting, but better

I remembered the third link!

zvi_likes_tv: Pingbacks! Yes!. Does everyone else like pingbacks? Because I do. My only problem is now I know my posts are not in fact being hotly debated and recced in places I don't know about(*) :)

While I'm at it: via [livejournal.com profile] fight_derailing, THE CHARACTER OF COLOR YENTA MEME, where you say what you like and people rec tv shows etc with nonwhite characters which are like that.

Finally, since every time I mention it people go "OMG HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT??": [livejournal.com profile] feminist_fandom. Which, oh look, has two recent posts by me :)

And no, I don't actually think pingbacks are better than comments. But they do make me feel a bit better about reccing more often than I comment to say I liked something.

(*)Being trained to reference by my Phd I link back to myself a lot, so have lots of "OOh a pingback someone linked to me! Oh it was just me :("
