Thanks so much for your help Kathrin! :) However, I've tried these steps and Googlebot is still giving me no love.
If you go to http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/ you can see I've placed the meta tag in the header. Then if you go to http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/?_escaped_fragment_= you can see the results fragment is embedded inline in the static HTML. However, if I try "Fetch as Googlebot" (http://www.google.com/support/ webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=158587) it shows the original pages HTML, not the _escaped_fragment_ version. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
