TrackBack and Pingback supported by CNET News.com, this is the official announcement. (You heard it here first, of course.) I think the UI for this on their site is a little funky, but this is a huge step for news media. ¶

Matt: Wow, the RDF fragment in that page is completely hosed. I guess the successful pings they’ve received are due to folks manually keying in URLs instead of relying on autodiscovery.

It’s still a big step forward. Blogs continue to influence the media. Go Matt!

CNET seems to have effectively removed any PageRank benefit from this. For example, check out the article that was pinged from photomatt.net way back in September. Its PR is still showing up as “n/a” from where I’m sitting.
