I have wanted to since I started blogging, but I either never got them working or never had someone link to me. I'm not exactly big in the blogging community. I also never used Trackbacks.

Technorati <em>et al</em> already do a pretty good job of keeping track of the links between sites, blogs, and blog entries, so there's rarely a need to explicitly inform someone else that you're talking about them. I used to enjoy getting pinged (a rare occasion) but now that enjoyment comes from finding links to my site in Technorati or Google Blog Search (still a pretty rare occasion). I think they're dead.
