As a relatively new blogger I have always wondered about the value of all the pingbacks, etc. "No Value" is now my "considered" response. Hadn't read this particular post until end of October and the link from Adam's PubCon speaking engagement -- which would be so cool to attend. Mario, if you read this comment, please email me and let me know if you have a blog. Mario — and Adam, of course — I agree.

I completely agree with you. In fact, for Chat Catcher, I built a custom WordPress comment type. The custom type allows a blogger to separate Social Media comments from both blog comments and trackbacks. My post here talks more about separating different parts of the conversation on WordPress blogs: http://tinyurl.com/nepcyb Chat Catcher doesn't replace a blog's comment section like many other solutions. As a blogger, I like this approach because it leaves the control in my hands. However, that means the display of the comments is dependent on the blog's theme. Many themes are setup to display trackbacks and comments in the same stream. For blogs that receive a lot of comments, as you've pointed out, that's not optimal. The good news is that these things are easily fixed and your feedback will ensure that the fixes happen soon. I worked on Todd Defren's theme when he first moved to WordPress. The trackbacks were split out at that time. Recently, he switched themes and the comments and trackbacks were joined again. He's commented here that he's reviewing his theme now. I'll definitely give him a hand if he needs it and I'm sure things will be running smoothly again in no time. Thanks for the great post Adam. I completely agree with you.
