Hmm, I think it is fine if the trackbacks are part of the "reaction" group, at least that way we don't have too many "groupings".

And filtering the reactions group is a great idea too!

Another option is to mix the trackbacks with the comments - I am in favor of this one, since in a way trackbacks supposedly add to the conversation as opposed to the Reactions which are majorly "Re-tweets".

Having said that, the best way would be to filter out "non-reactions" (like Re-Tweets) and real "reactions". Real reactions together with trackback should be mixed with the "Comments" group since these are all part of the discussion.

While "non-reactions" like Re-Tweets can stay where they are "reactions".

Finally, maybe a different name than "reactions" since it sounds like "comments" (which again, mainly are "re-tweets", not really "reactions").

Anyway, I hope I'm not confusing :p (English is not my native language)

Thanks again and more power!!

Would you still have the option to position it where you wished with the reactions? I think the main question/request is to have it closer to the comments, as opposed to where they currently are (located after Reactions). It just ties in blog reactions and reciprocal links to the post in question.

I'd agree with this - it'd be more user-friendly to have trackbacks before the Reactions, at least - I'd say trackbacks from other blogs are more important than social media reactions and offer readers more voices on the blog post topic.

Any news on this, Disqus? A "yay" or "nay" either way would be nice? :)
