I have to admit I do use Follow Friday but I only recommend real people who are actually fun to follow. I have found several people by looking through #ff lists, but not many. And yes I do hate the way it clutters my screen. I can’t find a damn thing on there. So I guess I am in the middle.

I just notice that you posted this on 11 Sept, I guess this day sucks for many families too.

When I first joined twitter, we got followers by “Hey, you on twitter? What’s your username?”

Living in San Fran probably helped.

I dunno. When I first joined Twitter, followfriday was a godsend: it helped me get quality followers fast.

I stopped using followfriday personally because of Mr. Tweet, which was simply excellent: why not get recommendations all the time, and write quality reviews for people? I think a lot of the points you raise are solid, for sure.

But that doesn’t mean what’s behind follow friday is a bad thing, not at all. In fact, a major reason why I’m staying away from Twitter is that there are too many cliques, not enough of finding people you can actually respect. People rip on follow friday as spam, but I know for a fact there isn’t much said on Twitter that challenges people to think, or truly informs them.

Same opinion as you. I was doing Follow Friday some weeks ago but finally found it really worthless. And there is also the factor of noobs who will feel offended if you do not add them to the #FF

Example one particular week you found a guy tweets cool and you add him on Follow Friday, then obviously the next week you will not re shout the same thing…then the guy feels offended.

Its too….much of a fart. I have stop and if I need to recommend someone I can do it on any day whether monday tuesday or whatever.

There is also the factor of thanking everyone. Well for this I wait for saturday and look at who shouted me in the ff and I say a mass thanks.
