Basically I got bored at work again (U.S. Army, Iraq, about to come home!) so I tried to think of a useful tool I could write. I’ve always found it frustrating going to blogs only to find that they don’t have commenting on their articles. Sometimes I find a good read and I want to leave me 2cents worth (because everyone cares! not). This new tool I wrote uses the same backend as my trackback search tool only I am looking for blogs that allow commenting.

The headlines state that “Drunk Driving is safer than Text Messaging” but let’s use this thing called common sense, however they are both equally dangerous. Car and driver did a test to see how big a difference there was. Basically the test was between two people, one who was drunk, and the other who was text messaging.

Tonight I was really bored at work so I decided to write an online tool that will find all posts that support trackbacks based on a keyword or phrase. I tested the tool with “Michael Jackson” and it returned a bunch of results. The cool thing is all you have to do is remove the links you don’t want and copy/paste the rest right into your blog article. Wordpress will automatically send pingbacks to those articles and you could possible get an inbound link out of it.
