Follow Friday on Twitter

twitter

Follow Friday is a recent phenomenon on Twitter where users recommend other users that should be followed.  Micah Baldwin of Lijit started Follow Friday and you can read about it on Mashable.  I’ve created this post to share some of my favorite recommendations with a small explanation.  This certainly isn’t final and will be edited in the future. If you were left off, it was likely a mistake and I apologize.   Be sure to add yourself and your suggestions in the comments section as I’ll be tweeting this list out in the future.

Am I allowed to give props to myself? As the self-annointed SEM-Master and Display/Behavioral ad guru I am New to Twitterverse and although I have a Blackberry, not sure I qualify for BB cool. Need followers so hop on the @ReachLocalSa train!

I made the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for making one of my goals (to be one of @nanpalmero's Follow Fridays...) come true!

Oh and I love your description but I don't respond to chick...if my co-workers found out I didn't comment after all the grief and lessons on chick vs. dude (and how it's not the same) they'd never let me forget it! :)

Thank you for making my day though...it was otherwise kind of long and lousy!

Thanks to Colleen for the shout out and to Nan for the post. This is what #followfriday should be all about. Thanks for helping give it a bit more substance than 140 characters usually leave room for.

Can't wait to see your spot on Sunday! Yes, great people get left off but that's because there are so many of them that it would be difficult to remember them all. Good problem to have! And, cool that you encourage readers to leave their suggestions.
