Got a proof-of-concept working of a pingback script that accepts
URLs (backlinks) of reply posts and checks the remote content for
a => link to one's capsule before appending the URL to the list of
received replies.
Maybe others want to expand on that for their own pleasure.

Cool idea. Though I think something like this would be better served as

a separate protocol. I think it's cool to have a server that you run on

your machine which checks links in your pages and announces it P2P-style

and anyone else with the same link that also runs that same server can

ping back to you and that would give you a rough backlinking feature.

Of course, I'm not software engineer nor a computer programmer in that

regard. But I thought that's a neat idea after I've read your post.
