I should perhaps add that "newly listed" on techno isn't a feat like "Top EmoBlogKid of The Month," or something; techno's newly listed is/was based on time of posts/submissions; that's why I mean it's a cheap way of doing it.
Yeah; saw your new post: - - - At the time all you needed was to stay chronologically fresh within the search system; if someone searched for a term, then the freshest site(s) would end up on top; seemingly regardless [..if for nothing else because my site sucked/was a test, and I still ended up way up there.]
-And it doesn't have to be blogs strictly speaking either; any url/domain you "Claim" (that is previously unclaimed) will be scanned for updates; - and if a totally regular site doesn't work, try adding a RSS link for it, even if you usually don't use one.
That was the technorati I messed with, anyway, things can have changed now, if only for matters of fairity and/or logical reasoning.
(Edit:) nine tenths of the matter could be their logged-in feature of "pinging" their attention, so as to tell them an edit has taken place; if they've failed to notice it yet. - - You can go on-and-on doing this, by the way; too convenient..
