Fave My Blog and I Fave Yours
Now here is something to benefit everyone involved. Gary Lee started a new meme called the Technorati fave train after reading Maki's Favorites exchange experiment outlining the importance of breaking into the Technorati Top 100 most favorited blogs list. I've been invited to jump on this train and I think it is worth thinking about. I'm inviting the Top 10 most frequent visitors of this blog according to MyBlogLog:
***Start Copying Here***
Here are the rules:
1. Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
2. COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.
3. Take “My New Faves” and move them into the “The Original Faves” list.
4. Add at least 3 Blogs that you’ve just added to your Technorati Favorites to the “My New Faves” section. Remember to also add the “Fave Me” link next to your new blogs (i.e. http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://www.yourdomain.com)
5. Add Everyone on this list to your Technorati Favorites List by clicking on “Fave the Site.” (Please FAVE EVERYONE on the List prior to posting the list or a Kitten will Die Alone in a Dark Alley Tonight). Those who want good karma will fave you back. If not, you will for sure get the benefits of faves from the bloggers who continue this list after you.

Nice button, ilker !
Thanks for participating in the exchange experiment.. will link you up on my blog in a bit. :)
@Loui$$ + Maria: Done and done!
I will favorite all those who favorite my blog and leave a comment here with a link to fave your blogs.
@Maki: Thank you for updating your post to include me in! =)
Very cool! I had you as a fave for a long time - love reading your stuff!
Hi, There's a few people saying this but, You have been on my list for a while too!
http://technorati.com/faves/pthurst?add=http://paulhurst.blogspot.com
Hi ilker, may i include in the list too? I really wanna join this games too! Thanks in advance.(I cant sleep, think about crazy method now.)
Thank you guys! I know there are about 135 of you who have faved the thinking blog before this post.
@Loui$$: Anyone can copy/paste this list on their blog and add their fave link along with at least 3 other blogs.
I just faved you, loved the button! Please return the fave to me at www.businesssanityblog.com
http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://businesssanityblog.com
Thanks for posting the list on your blog Susan! I track my linkbacks and fave all those who join the train later on as well ;)
So i cannot update in your list? Disappointed.
I could.. but then I have to do it for everyone who asks for it and that means I need to update the post every minute.
Also it would be unfair to the Top 10 most frequent visitors because they really come here often to read the content.
I have added you to my technorati faves. Unfortunately, I clicked on the first link before I saw the giant button!

Hi Ilker - I've just faved you at Technorati. My link is:
http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://www.t4td.blogspot.com
Thank you
I love the button! Tried to add your blog to my favorites but evidently you have added your already. I would appreciate the favor. Thanks in advance. I think your button should become the logo of this campaign. :)
you know I LOVE THAT BUTTON! . . . might just have to link back to it once I crack the Top 30!
Me tooo!!!
Hehehe
M.
Maybe it is just b/c my blog sux *that bad* but I have had people add me to everything BUT their Technorati profile, so I finally took the button off my site :/
I've actually had you as one of my favorites since April Fools day, when I found your site on Blogs of Note :P You have great content, sir! Please keep them coming!
2Perfect's Weblog - Fave Me
PS: did you make that giant fave button or is there like a website with giant buttons? Because I saw a huge RSS button somewhere too :S
I've faved your blog. Pls fave mine: here
Love your blog! Have faved you,
hope you do mine,
cheers

i have long added you to my technorati favorites. please add me too thru http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://pinoyseminars.blogspot.com. thanks.
Nice work ilker, you've just broken into the top 100!
Congrats. Oh, and well done on your Technorati rank. Pretty impressive I'd say!
@t4td + 2perfect + shankar + j + gibo: Faved all your blogs!
@2perfect: I made the button myself but I was inspired from the World's Biggest RSS Button. I don't think there is a site with giant buttons thou.. the original biggest RSS button is actually being used in a blog.
@david airey: Thank you.. all the credit goes to my readers. I hope to see you soon with me in the Top 100!
I've added you to my faves.
Here's my faves link
@Dawud: Done!
I wonder how soon until Technorati comes down hard on this one? So far the bottom of the "top 100 fav blogs" on Technorati has gone from a minium of 100 favs to almsot 150!
@HMKTSteve: Correction, minimum is now 160 faves!
I don't think Technorati will do much about it until all the Top 100 is replaced by not-so-much-known blogs and those who join in the Technorati Favorites Exchange (TFX) madness early will surely benefit from it!
Thanks for the link onto the train Ilker. You've been a fav for a while.
Love the huge favourite button, can't miss that.
Ian
Hi Ilker, it's done,
you can return the fave here
& if u want to go for fave link exchange, I am up for it... (my original post about this buzz being currently here)
I'll return faves to all websites having faved me, and being not spammy ones.
Best,
Tanguy
@Tanguy: Done!
Hey again Mr. Ilker!
I tagged you in my MyBlogLog Bandwagon post! Just thought you might be interested in it since you participated in the Technorati Favorites exchange.
It's basically like that except it's for MyBlogLog. So it's a "community exchange" kinda thing.
Hey Ilker, i added you! I'm not too sure if spending time adding people to my fave list is something i really wanna do (gotta focus on writing stuff instead), so you can take my OPML file and add it to your technorati :)
http://feeds.technorati.com/faves/jphillips?format=opml
you can download the file and then upload it to technorati here:
http://technorati.com/account/importfaves.html
easy, fast, non-time consuming,
Me too!
http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://www.kellycho.com
