I was looking for a way to enable and test Pingback/Trackbacks on my WordPress blog. I fount a great article that explains how the thing works and also allows you to test it. It is very well explained and I am using it right now to test it, here is the link: WordPress Trackback Tutorial

And actually, I you can also test your Trackback/Pingback using this blog post. I will accept any Trackback/Pingback, as long as it is not spam. However, it may take up to 24 hours for me to approve it, so just be patient

And if you need to be convinced that Pingback/Trackback are important to your blog, here is a great article that explains why: Link Marketing: Pingbacks vs Blog Comments

Ok, I hope I did not miss anything. Testing now with that simple post.

… well, everything seems pretty good at this point.

What the client sees is very similar, but I have to admit that the admin looks much nicer.

We are pleased to announce the launch of another Web 2.0 application powered by OpCode Solutions: Good Camel Games – Fun Multiplayer Games. Good Camel Games provides real-time multiplayer games with public and private chat rooms. Games are free and are online; no need to pay or download anything. No registration is required, just enter the app and play with real people around the world, in real-time. On the client side, the app uses Google Web Toolkit (no flash, no plugin required). On the server side, we have Java back-end under Tomcat. What is fun about Good Camel Games it is that games are short and easy to play, so you can enjoy a game even if you only have 2 minutes. There is also a Facebook integration: Good Camel Games on Facebook.

  I am very please to announce the launch of USpeak. USpeak is a free service allowing anybody to create anonymous and confidential discussions. The discussions on USpeak are anonymous because all messages posted on a discussion are anonymous. The user who created the discussion itself also remains anonymous. However, all participants see who is participating in the discussion, they just don’t know who said what. Discussions are also confidential because a discussion is only visible to its participants. USpeak makes it easier for people to talk about delicate, unpopular or taboo subjects. Here are few scenarios:

• A corporation wanting its employees to give anonymous and interactive feedback about things that could be improved in the organization.
• A family member expressing his/her views on a taboo subject.
• An individual in a group wanting to change things and trying to create a momentum.

USpeak firmly believes Freedom of Speech is for everybody and encourages people to freely speak their thoughts. For more information, see USpeak FAQ.

I am happy to announce the launch of Opcode Blogs today. As a first release, the site aims at providing information about Java in business world. In the future, we may see other blogs appearing as Opcode widens its activities. This is a new achievement for Opcode Solutions!
