IOD: Has anyone created a blog trackback visualizer?
Does anyone know of a tool out there that does a link analysis of trackbacks around the blogosphere that would create a picture similar to "The Big Picture" on CNET. You could start out at a blog entry and follow all the links and links to the links on a map.

I'm keeping this post on my RSS feed -- I can't wait to read the replies.
Of course I also find it ironic that your question about "trackbacks" comes from MSDN (or TechNet) which doesn't support "trackbacks"Anonymous

At first it sounds like a really cool idea - but then I'm wondering how many people send a trackback ping to a site that is sending a trackback ping to somewhere else.
Let's say BLOG A writes about WIDGETS.
BLOG B pings BLOG A
BLOGGER C reads BLOG B, and write about it on their blog, but do they choose to link to BLOG B or to BLOG A?
I think in most cases the trackbacks are more likely to go to BLOG A.
What are your thoughts?Anonymous

Micheal: I don't have any numbers, but I think I see it a lot. I don't think most people track back to the real source of the information. I think one bloggers links to a news story then the other bloggers link to each other in a network effect outward depending on who adds commentary that is interesting to a sub-group of bloggers.Anonymous
