In the spirit of my last post about Follow Friday - Stop Spamming Me With FollowFriday! - I won’t be posting any Follow Friday tweets, just pointing people to this post.
So, who do I recommend you follow, and why?
First up, @Richard__White (that’s 2 underscores, for some reason!). Richard consistently posts great sales tips and hints, as well as helping to promote other Tweeters. His Accidental Salesman blogs are always great to read, and he’s an all round nice chap!

Discussions at a conference, thought I’d give it a try
I often get asked to review things and blog about them on this and other blogs that I run.
A lot of the time I say no, unless a product or service is something I’m particularly interested in or would actually use - this blog is about Twitter for Business, not Freebies for Nikki after all
I caught a Facebook post / Twitter status from @grahamjones this morning - it appears that he’s had someone unfollow him on Twitter because they see his #followfriday recommendations as spam.
It’s true to say that if you follow a lot of people, then it’s difficult to see the real content in amongst the constant #followfriday messages on a Friday, and if someone sends numerous FFs, then it could get a little annoying.
But I’m a great believer in Follow Friday - I think it’s important to recommend people for your followers to check out, so what to do?
A quick shout out to Killer Startups, who have given us links to yet another 5 Twitter apps:

London, UK, 21st June 2009 - The new celebrity Twitter utility is here. OfficialTwitters.com is THE utility to find verified celebrity users of the social networking phenomenon Twitter.

I often try out new things just because they are new.
How often do you ‘Tweet’?
It’s never a priority for me, so it depends upon what else is going on. I Downgrade or unfollow people who retweet people I am following anyway, or tweet excessively, so I try to limit what I broadcast. I probably average 3 tweets a day, varying from none to a dozen.
After having a unique logo, you start marketing and branding your business using different marketing and advertising channels. However, in times when budgets are slashed, small business owners find social media as a powerful yet cost effective medium for marketing and branding their businesses. Twitter, among many other social media venues, can be used as one of the most powerful tools for the same purpose.
Generally, people recognize your business by your logo whether you do business branding traditionally or over the internet. A unique logo gives you recognition and helps you to stand out in the crowd. In this post, we will see how your unique business logo can help you to brand your business using Twitter.
