Technorati (the site can explain better than I can lol) But I noticed how no one came up that I knew on Mindsay--I think we are the best here and should.  So.........by "fave" ing my Mindsay folks I add in their so called "authority".  That is what they call it when people link to their blogs.  So I posted that one thing that looks like  a link so technorati could ping my blog--then I was able to add to my favorites and a link for technorati people to fave mine.  That creates yet another link for the ones that fave me. 
Anyways--it worked already.  It worked really fast in fact. 
I got tired of blogger and myspace being the only ones that came up (or came up first) in my searches. 
Ok-in short--it's a good thing! lol
