This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 69
Incorrectア
This describes a service in which general users post and share links to and comments on news they are interested in (a social-news-type service); it is different from a trackback, which is a notification feature between blogs.
Incorrectイ
This describes “social bookmarking”, in which bookmarks are registered on a network to share website information with other users. It is bookmark sharing, not a link-notification mechanism.
Incorrectウ
This describes a “social share button (share button)” that shares link information to social media such as SNS by pressing a button pasted on a blog; this too is a different feature. A trackback is a notification to the linked blog, not sharing to an SNS.
- エ
正解 A trackback is a mechanism whereby, when you place a link from your own blog article to another user's blog article, a notification saying “I have linked to your article” is automatically sent to the linked party's blog. On the notified blog, a reference link (backlink) pointing back to your own article is displayed in return, so the mutual references between blogs and the spread of a topic can be made visible. Choice エ describes exactly this notification mechanism, so it is correct.
- A trackback is a blog-specific mechanism that automatically notifies another person's blog that you have linked to their article, thereby establishing a mutual reference link.
- The key point is not to confuse it with the definitions of similar web terms such as social bookmarking, social news, and share buttons.
