All,
I seldom write code for myself. Ok, that's not true. I write code for fun so it is almost always for me. What is true is that I seldom use code I write. I often wonder who has found code I have written helpful and how they are using it. It would be nice if I could get a /msg anytime myself or one of my nodes is referenced (trackback).

I did some research and found a couple of nodes on the topic (Node trackbacks? & Proposal: A "Cited/Linked by" list). They are not exactly what I was looking for but it seems I am not the only one thinking about this.

Setting aside the technical issues outlined by GrandFather and chromatic, is this a pipe dream or a possibility?

Cheers - L~R
