Arxiv trackbacks
Wednesday, August 24th, 2005In a surprising development, arxiv.org has added trackbacks for weblog posts that link to papers. Ars Math links to a lot of arxiv abstracts, so this is good for us, but I’m curious what uses people will put this to. Will authors obsessively check their abstracts to find out what people are saying about them? Will no one care? Will the whole thing be destroyed by spammers?
