Follow Friday

2009 May 8

If you’re on Twitter, you’ve probably heard of #followfriday.

On twitter, hash tags allow you to create groups of tweets which are easily searched, or can be followed comment for comment using a site like TweetChat which I fell in love with after Connie Reese mentioned it on her blog, Every Dot Connects.

The #followfriday tweets share interesting people that you think others would enjoy getting to know.

Different people approach followfriday in different ways. Some tell you why they’re recommending someone, some list several people and follow it with the label, and some tell you a category and then list interesting people within that category.

The problem is, whatever you choose to do has to be done in 140 characters. That can get difficult if you have a tendency to be wordy, like I sometimes do.

So my plan is to share my followfriday list on twitter and tell you why they’re great people to follow here on my blog.

@dalydose – When I signed up on Plurk, Jeff was the second person to follow me. Great guy who takes wonderful pictures and lots of fun to chat with.

@HighDef – Wickedly funny and super intelligent sense of humor. I always enjoy seeing what he has to say about the topics at hand.

@pritcharddesign – Awesome artist and great friend. She owns Pritchard Design, a good site to check if you need some art work done.

@quotesnack
– If you love quotes, like I do, you’ll enjoy quotesnack. Run by a friend of mine, she posts great quotes that you don’t often see elsewhere.

Since it’s getting late tonight, I’ll stop here. Hope you enjoy this week’s followfriday suggestions! :)

    @Jerry Glad I could share a couple new people with you. In fact, they're all on Plurk with the same names, although @dalydose hasn't plurked in a while.

    @Elizabeth You're very welcome! I love your idea of using quotes from cancer survivors. What a neat idea! :)
  • Coolness! I was following two of the four on Twitter already!

  • Thanks so much for the mention, Teeg! This month I'm trying something different. All May on quotesnack.com I'm using only quotes from cancer survivors, in honor of @AmericanCancer (the American Cancer Society.) They were my 5000th Twitter follower. It's been a worthy challenge. :)

    @quotesnack, the Twitter account, is potluck, as usual.
