She found my Malheur page via a search engine (don't know if it
was yahoo or what), not directly but indirectly through links
(people I don't know have been linking to my page?).

Anyway, apparently she didn't find tweeters with her search engine.
I'm unclear as to what needs to be done to make our tweets site
visible, I know some engines search all title and heads they can
find, others (more CPU and I/O intensive!) search all the text
for keywords - Digital just announced one they're putting up
as a public service and experiment that apparently does much better
than existing ones, unfortunately I didn't write down the URL
when I saw it...

Well, the crux of my thought here is that it would be sweet if
anyone worldwide did a "yahoo" for birds or birding that they'd
get tweeters as one of the hits returned.
