Twitter Follow Friday Ideas On A Monday

Follow Friday ideas, on a Monday?

One of the things that’s grown on this blog over the past few weeks is my Follow Friday post.

I highlight people that I follow on Twitter, and include a paragraph or two about why I think that they are worth following.

These people may, or may not be movers and shakers on Twitter.

This is in direct contrast to the habit of making a list of usernames and sending them around with #ff appended to the tweet.

I may be old fashioned, but I like interaction on social media sites.

Finding 8 Ways to Avoid Overwhelming Your Followers’ Twitter Stream on Web Worker Daily reinforced my ideas.

It’s no fun when you are on the end of a flood of tweets from a someone who sends quotes every minute or two, or worse, a series of sales messages.

I recommend that you have a read of the article! It’s good food for thought.

In microblogging terms, I’d sum the the post up in the following sentence:

Tweet others as you would like them to tweet YOU!

In other words, it’s a rephrasing of the Golden Rule: Do unto others, as you’d have them do unto you!

Like the original golden rule, the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Feel free to follow me on Twitter and/or Friendfeed.

If you would like me to follow you in turn though, remember:

No Bio + No Name + No Photo = No Follow in return!

Have a great week!
