ok, first the term is trackback(ing).
If I see a post you've written that for some reason I like or is pertenant to something I post about and I add your URL to my post, I create what is called a pingback and if your post is set up to accept pingbacks then when your blog is notified my mine that I posted your URL, then your blog will add my post title and a link to the comments section of the post that I referred to...
Now a trackback is similar to a pingback. The difference being that I not only add your URL to my post but I also add your URL into the trackback area within my post section. Then rather than pinging just the title of my post and my URL, my blog will send your blog a snippet of the text I entered which gets put in your comments section.
Clear as mud? Hopefully I have an English version of this available for post someday soon!
