Let me start with small introduction.
What is pingback?
"A pingback is one of three types of linkbacks, methods for Web authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking to, or referring to their articles."
That's what Wikipedia says. I say this is nothing more but automation of politeness. When you quote someone's words, it's polite to notify author about it. And if author likes what you said about his work, he will linkback to you (post).
