Blogs are influencing Google results heavily; the proof!

Hyves is the most popular social network with over 3 million members of the Netherlands and probably the company with most mentions in the press (at least in Dutch press).
Well, I have to say that my article about Hyves was very well written and took me at least 20 minutes, but I doubt if that should be good enough to be on the first page of google results for the keyword Hyves.
Of course hyves.nl and hyves.net are the first results followed by wikipedia entries and technorati, but then the blog of my partner Boris on a hyves sticker pops up and mine is one place down (don’t tell boris… he’ll be very very happy with the fact that his blog has a higher rating and I have hear it for the next week!)
It is known that blogs drive big companies crazy because Google’s algorithm seems to be skewed in favorite of blogs, this example shows again the importance of blogs in Google results.
