What's happening here with Technorati?

First, I checked my blog referral logs and discovered Technorati was sending me some traffic.

Second, somehow my blog ended up on it. I didn't submit to it or anything. I'm guessing someone just submitted my feed to it perhaps? (As Technorati is a feed aggregator)

Lastly, I noticed on my blog's Technorati homepage has posts I didn't even write. They aren't even in English. Were they just translated or something?

So I really don't know what's going on here:

I never really looked into them, but it sounds like you probably have a fan who uses Technorati to read or even find blogs?

OK, but what about the different languages then?

EDIT: And I should ask why they haven't commented on my blog or anything, they like it, which means they obviously understand English, so.....

This definitively looks like a Balkan's language.
Maybe Czech, or Romanian ...
Looks a lot like Czech to me, but I really don't know for sure.

And for your primary question, that page of Technorati shows a blog's link to your blog. That's how your blog made it into the Technorati index.
You can see a "reference" on your blog Technorati page, and this indicate how many peoples voted your blog up.

What I find strange is that I don't find any link to your blog from that Czech blog.
Maybe they removed it...

Well it seems like it's giving you traffic and not hurting you at all, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

So essentially that czech blog or whatever, "discovered" my blog?

(Maybe it's staring me right in the face, but I'm looking at my blog Technorati homepage, and I don't see any "reference" section or who "discovered" it. Or is it the "Authority" section?)

It's also strange to me that the foreign language post (whatever it says) is also listed in my "latest posts" section (...brak cisni..... or something), I KNOW I didn't write that .

Doh....
I seriously need to sleep.
Yeah, it's labeled "authority", not "reference".

I believe it's the latest post of that blog.
And that last post is categorized as a reaction to one of your posts too.

The "recent posts" column on the left seems to mix posts and reactions. When I click on the link that's not English, it clearly says that it's a reaction to a post of your blog, but it's displayed like a post of your blog.
Confusing...

I swear I get like 1 comment for every 25 people who read my blog. Wish it was more, but I guess most people just don't like commenting. So what you're seeing probably isn't anything out of the ordinary.
