• My Weekly Recommendations of People To Follow On Twitter – July 10, 2009
  

  I REALLY wanted to write an accompanying article giving some more tidbits and tips and insights into Twitter that I’ve learned, but somehow my days this week only had 24 hours in them. Did anyone else have that problem? I’m drafting a petition for more hours in the day. Let me know if you would be willing to add your signature. So instead this week I am simply going straight to a new compilation of people I follow on Twitter.

• Reasons I Follow People on Twitter – or Not. Plus My #FollowFriday Recommendations
  

  Last Friday I explained why I don’t want to do #FollowFridays on Twitter anymore. I also shared some links to help newcomers understand exactly what #FollowFriday is supposed to be all about. So rather than repeat myself, please pop over to last Friday’s post and catch up. Plus, you will find a few of my favorite people I follow on Twitter and decide if you want to follow them too.

• Why I Don’t Want To Do #FollowFridays On Twitter Anymore
  

  Follow Fridays on Twitter exhaust me.

  Before I go any further, if you don’t know what “Follow Fridays” on Twitter is, here is a great explanation for the uninitiated: #FollowFriday: The Anatomy of a Twitter Trend

  I really think it’s a great idea. A designated day to recommend people you follow to people who follow you. In concept, it’s a great way to share, encourage and help to enhance others’ Twitter experience. When I first started using Twitter and learned about #FollowFriday, I thought it was brilliant. Then the next Friday came around and I discovered that I could play a little numbers game to grow my own follower count. I got caught up in recommending people solely because I knew they would recommend me back. And that second week I gained over 150 new followers!

  I was hooked. I thought I had found the mother lode! The Holy Grail of non-automated follower increase. The REAL Twitter Traffic Machine Secret.

  But over the next week as I began to interact with others on Twitter, I realized that there were some great people who I really DID value and wanted to make sincere recommendations to show my appreciation to them and to share the treasures I had found with others.
