My post yesterday on IceRocket/BlogScour—Qumana Blog—started a conversation between me and Blake Rhodes of IceRocket about a cool little piece of JavaScript that you put into your template that auto-searches IceRocket for links to that post. Check it out on the Qumana blog and View from the Isle. I'm using an old version of the script that isn't as efficient as a new version I did some testing on this morning for them, but I think it works awesome. Took me like 3 mins to add it to my base and category templates in Blogware.
Implications? Well, it was darn easier than dealing with Technorati. No claiming my feed stuff. Not to mention it's more than a little more accurate and up to date than Technorati. 
Case in point. Steve Rubel linked to my post on Kryptonite this morning in his del.icio.us links post and it was already counted in the Links to this page on the article. I know PubSub has it, because that's how it found it, but so did IceRocket. No, I'm not going to give up PubSub, but this little JavaScript is better than Trackbacks, IMHO, because if someone forgets to trackback you won't find out unless you have PubSub, etc search. Maybe Technorati will have it. This, this seems to work fast.
I'll be testing new versions and updates as they come out, so if they stop working or change all of a sudden, that's why.
