Let’s change #FollowFriday to #SingleFollowFriday

by Nick Stewart on April 10, 2009

The problem

For the past several weeks I have noticed that Friday is the day that people make recommendations for people you should follow on twitter.

Others have noticed this behavior as well. Read: Twitter #FollowFriday – Give Us a Reason

Unfortunately this has morphed into an excuse for people to recommend following lots of others for no reason whatsoever.

We see tweets recommending that we follow five or maybe even 10 people without any reason.

What I recommend

So what I recommend is that we pick one person each Friday to recommend that others follow. And we spend the remaining 140 characters explaining why that person should be followed. We should give a reason.

You could even make a blog post if you don’t feel 140 characters is enough to explain what this person did for you and why they should be followed.

And instead of using #FollowFriday we can use #SingleFollowFriday

So who is with me?
