So... we need a favor, and we'll do one in return.

YesButNoButYes has been sitting just over 1000 on Technorati for a while, and I keep hoping it'll flip under 1000, but no luck so far. Of course, it really doesn't matter one way or another, but it's niggling at me like a poppy seed between my teeth that I can't quite reach with my tongue. So I thought I'd see if we could effect some change ourselves.

What we need is for anyone out there with a blog who hasn't linked to us in the last 180 days to do so, and give Technorati a ping. I figure, we'll probably get to under 1000 with maybe 30-40 links. You can link to any of our 5000 posts, doesn't really matter which.

In return, for anyone that does, email us with the link and I'll write one ginormous post giving you all a link and thank you back. It'll be a complete lovefest.

This is it, people, democracy at work. Or Payola. One of the two.

UPDATE: 10 hours later, mission accomplished. Thanks everyone - I'll write up those who helped and emailed me later today.
