Webmention
A webmention is a type of linkback that can be requested by Web authors to keep track of activity relating to a page or document on their website somewhere else on on the web.
It is similar to pingbacks but was designed to be simpler than the xmlrpc protocol that pingback relies upon, by instead only using HTTP and x-www-urlencoded content.[1]
