The Dreaded Follow Friday
I can see why some people can’t stand Follow Friday on Twitter. Who wants their twitter stream flooded with a bunch of names? I’m not going to follow any recommendations that resemble this:
#FollowFriday @name1 @name2
@name3 @name4 @name5
@name6 @name7 @name8
Why should I follow? Are they funny? It’s follow friday vomit all over my time line. What’s worse then this? Retweeting EVERY SINGLE RECOMENDATION YOU GET!! It’s worse then follow friday vomit. I’m going to start unfollowing whoever does this.
If you want someone to actually follow the people you mention, add a description to it. Or do individual mentions. I like to retweet something funny the person said, kind of like saying, here’s an example of how they tweet, follow for more.
I think #FollowFriday would be much less of a pain if we didn’t just vomit a list of names. It’s kind of lazy and if you really wanted anyone to follow these people you would try to make it meaningful.
I’m not saying I’m a twitter expert, these are just my opinions.
