Everyone knows my thoughts on Follow Friday by now – simple lists of names don't do it for me and I never follow anyone from those lists. Give me a REASON to follow someone and I'll consider it! Which is why I tend to put my FFs in a blog post such as this one!
This week's FFs are all NikkiPilkington.com clients – some are new, some long term, but they're all people we love working with.

It’s Friday once more, and that means it’s #followfriday – you might want to read the last couple of #followfriday posts I’ve written to find out more:
If you can’t be bothered to read those, it’s pretty simple – Follow Friday is about sharing with your followers the people you thnk are worth following. That way people find new and interesting people who are worth following.
Once again, #followfriday rolls around, and once again I’m hoping to see *reasons* to follow people, not just a random list that gives me no pointers.
Last week I wrote this post entitled #FollowFriday – it’s not just a list, to explain my thoughts on Follow Friday.
For those that haven’t read it and can’t be bothered, a quick recap:
…today, instead of sending out 140 characters consisting of just usernames, have a think, and tell me WHY I should be following someone….
So, here are some of my #followfriday suggestions for today:
It’s Friday again, which means #followfriday, where Twitter users recommend people they think are good to follow by sending a Tweet saying ‘#followfriday @username because blah blah blah’
Well, to my mind, that’s what we SHOULD be doing – but in effect what tends to happen is this:
“#followfriday @username1 @username2 @username3 @username4 etc”
Now, anyone who knows me knows that I’m not one for telling people HOW to use Twitter. I can tell you categorically, however, that I pay no attention to those type of lists. I’m sure that YOU know why you’re telling me to follow someone, but with a list like that *I* don’t.
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.
