What Is #FollowFriday And How Do I Participate?

If you are a member of Twitter and have wondered what all the #followfriday hashtags are about then listen up! This is something that was started by Micah Baldwin at the beginning of 2009 and has completely mushroomed into a Friday culture. I believe the reason is how easy it is to participate.

Simply create a Tweet with a list of people who you really appreciate on Twitter and add #followfriday to the list. THAT SIMPLE! The reason it works is because so many people are participating in the practice. When I see a list from one of the people, I open up each profile and take a look to see if they are someone I want to follow. More often than not, they are worth it because they were recommended by someone who already shares like interests with me.

So every Friday think of people who you have interacted with during the week that were of value to you and list then out. Have fun doing it and we’ll see you in Twitterland!
