more like this from others
MoreLikeThisFromOthers is a "concept" plugin. What I mean by that is that it's a very clever idea, but it only works part of the time.
What MLTFO does is visit the blog entry that you pinged or the blog entry that pinged you. It attempts to navigate from there via the main index page of the blog to the RSS feed of the blog. It then studies the RSS feed to find other entries that the blog author posted to the same category as the pinged (or pinging) entry.
The MLTFO tags in your trackbacks template then allow you to display some information about and link to those entries. The best way to use these tags is to place them below the listing of each pinged or pinging entry so that you can say "here's a blog entry that I pinged plus some other related entries from that blog that you may want to check out as well".
The problem is that most of the time MLTFO doesn't seem to work for me. I only got it to reliably show related posts when I pinged or was pinged by one of my own blogs. For this reason, I eventually removed it. However, you might be interested in using it.
MLTFO is based on an idea by Ben Hammersley and code by Ben Trott, with the plugin by David Raynes.
