Overwhelmed by #FollowFriday?

#FollowFriday is a fun day of the week.  It’s the day when we find new peeps to follow and we also recommend to others the people that we enjoy following.  However, it can be a little overwhelming.  The lists pass through the Twitter feed at high speeds (if the Twitter API is cooperating that is…) and sometimes it’s hard to keep up!

Therefore, I’ve come up with a solution for my own followers.  I will now be keeping a list of the people I’ve recommended for any particular Friday.  This will allow my followers to come back to my blog, when things are little less frantic, and take a look at the people I’ve recommended they follow each week.

Please note that I send out a different list each week, based on my interactions that week.  We meet new people – but of course there’s still some lists that will only continue to grow – such as my list of “favorite peeps” – and of course the “GREAT Tweeters.”

Therefore, I welcome you to visit this posting each week – so that you can catch up and not feel so overwhelmed with the excitement of #FollowFriday.  So what is #FollowFriday and how does it work?

Here’s my recommendations:

• April 17, 2009
• April 10, 2009
• April 3, 2009

It’s that time of the week again…#FollowFriday – Whew hew!

So what is #followfriday and how does it work?

Well, it was started by a guy here in Boulder, by the name of Micah Baldwin (@micah) on January 16, 2009.  On that morning, Micah sent out the following tweet:

Basically, it’s a way for Twitter users to find other people to follow, based on recommendations from people they are already following.  In many cases, if you enjoy someone’s tweets, then you’re sure to enjoy your “peep’s peeps.”

For example, I personally keep a list of peeps that I enjoy “twalking” with…whether they are helpful, interactive, or just plain fun to follow.  Then once #FollowFriday rolls around, I post my tweet like this:

Some of my Favorite peeps: @Adesoji @SteveGarufi @AceConcierge @tommytrc @shellykramer @BillBeavers @RickBakas #followfriday.

Make sure you use the #FollowFriday hashtag, so that your recommendations can be found via the Twitter stream.  Hashtags you ask?  Once again…another blog post subject.

It’s also useful if you state why it is you’re recommending them for #FollowFriday (e.g.: “some of my favorite peeps”).

So what if it’s not Friday and you’re still not sure of where to begin your follow?  Then I suggest you check out  my other posting on “Who should you follow on Twitter?”  This post has a list of my own recommendations.

For even more information, check out Mashable’s “The Anatomy of a Twitter Trend” article or Micah’s own article, “Follow Friday. Oh My!”

I hope this answered your questions regarding #FollowFriday, and if so, please pass this along to your peeps and/or leave me a comment.

Go to the bottom of this page for a list of my weekly #FollowFriday recommendations.

Thanks & Happy #FollowFriday!
