Woohoo! It’s #followfriday!

OK, it’s probably not that exciting anymore, unless you’re new to Twitter, but I still find FollowFriday a great way to find new people to follow and find out more about.

Someone asked me the other day; “Has #followfriday run its course? Is it old now? Is it over?” I don’t know the answer to that, but I really hope not, because to me, FF epitomises one of the great things about networking – referrals.

When done properly, and thought through, #FollowFriday is a great way to shout out about and recommend the people you follow who really make a difference, and who you feel shold be brought to the attention of others.

My Follow Friday suggestions for July 3rd 2009

Seems like only a week ago we had the last one…

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!

Stop spamming me with Follow Friday!

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?

It’s FollowFriday! What’s FollowFriday?

It’s Friday today – on Twitter it’s known as FollowFriday.

Now, if you don’t know where FF came from, feel free to read this – http://mashable.com/2009/03/06/twitter-followfriday/ for the longer version, or below for the shorter version and why I think it’s good

FollowFriday began in January 2009, and it’s a way of recommending people on Twitter to your followers. You recommend a person, and then you say why others should follow them. You could recommend more than one person, and send more than one Tweet about this if you want. The important bit (to my mind) is to tell people WHY they should follow this person.
