I just enabled the plugin Kramer, which searches Technorati for incoming links to my posts and converts these links to pingbacks.  The first two things (problems) I notice are:  The pingbacks are only recorded when the post is accessed.  In other words, incoming links won't be searched for unless a specific post is viewed.  The other thing is that the post's comment count isn't updated when a pingback is found and added to the database.  Since Technorati doesn't have many incoming links for my site, I might disable this plugin pretty soon. #technology
