- 10 More People I Follow On Twitter That You Should Too – And Why
It’s that time again. Friday. A day that in every other context is glorious. It’s the end of the week! The start of the weekend! Let the fun begin!
Except on Twitter. At least for me. If you’ve been following me on Twitter or read any of my previous Friday blog posts, you already know what [...]
- 10 More People I Follow On Twitter And Why You Should Too
Here are this week’s recommendations from me of really great people I follow on Twitter. In case you haven’t heard, I have chosen to bypass the whole #FollowFriday mess and use this space to make more detailed recommendations each week. I also make a point of recommending each of these people to Mr. Tweet. I would encourage you to do the same for people you value.
- 10 People I Follow On Twitter and Why I Think You Should Follow Them Too
I hope that Brian Yerkes will forgive my plagiarizing of his title from his blog post “5 People I Follow On Twitter and Why“. I have been writing these weekly recommendations for a few weeks now and when I saw his title I thought it was a perfect way to encourage people to read the contents of the post, like a good title should. So hats off to you, Brian, for not only having a cool first name but also a smart blog post title. Forgive me if I have offended in any way.
- My Weekly Recommendations of GREAT People To Follow On Twitter – 080709
Each week I try to recommend ten more people that I follow on Twitter with an explanation about WHY I am encouraging you to discover the value I have found in these wonderful people. I have also tried to give an accompanying article that follows or discusses something related to the now infamous #FollowFriday phenomenon on Twitter.
But it is now 8:40 pm (EST) on Friday night and there is not much time to keep up the article tradition. So rather than try to throw something together to give the appearance of an article, I decided it’s most important to share the recommendations.
- How To Use #MrTweet Instead of #FollowFriday + My Weekly Recommendations
It’s Friday again, and the hordes of #FollowFriday lists are filling up the Twitter stream once more. Every Friday for the past several weeks I have written a Follow Friday related post to share my thoughts and insights into this social media phenomenon, and I have started my own tradition of recommending at least 10 people here with a more detailed explanation of why I follow them in the hopes that you would follow them too and discover the value I have in each of them. At the end of each of these posts I have said that if you desire to recommend me to others on Twitter I would greatly appreciate you using the website known as “Mr. Tweet” to express yourself. I have had quite a few people say they found me through Mr. Tweet, which is even more encouraging because it means they have made a somewhat educated decision to follow me by reading my profile and recommendations on the website, rather than randomly clicking on one of countless lists of names that provide no explanation for the recommendation.
So this week I wanted to give the uninitiated a more detailed look at some of the many features Mr. Tweet offers and help you to see how the benefits of using this tool far outweigh the anonymous Follow Friday recommendation.
- MacDaddy Links of the Week – 072509
It’s that time again, boys and girls! These are the links that I have bookmarked this week for my own personal use. I don’t claim them to be the best of the week – but they are what I am using and rereading and keeping for future use. So maybe there are some in here for you too!
- How Twitter Reminded Us That People – Not Numbers – Are What Matter + My Weekly Recommendations
This morning as I was going through my routine of catching up on RSS feeds and all the latest design, social media and tech news, I came across the story from Mashable that explained how Twitter decided to clean up spam and bot accounts last night. The article revealed how the result for most Twitter users would be a drop in follower count. Like most who read it, I quickly put down my coffee and checked my own statistics. I have to admit I was shocked and even disappointed to see that overnight I dropped from over 5,200 followers down to the 4,700 range! My initial frustration evaporated quickly though, when I thought about the fact that the 500 or so accounts that had been deleted from my numbers were actually programs or autofollows or other garbage that truly were not of any interest to me anyway. This got me thinking yet again about the whole numbers game most of us tend to get caught up in with our social media accounts and how we like to achieve milestones and statistics and such.
- How I Keep Up With The Thousands I Follow on Twitter + My Weekly Recommendations of People to Follow
This morning as I was going through my ritual email and Twitter catchups, I came across a questions from a new friend on Twitter named Liz Stroud (@liz2point0). Liz asked: “How do you keep up with thousands of people to follow??? Seiously!” So I thought, why not answer the question in today’s #FollowFriday blog post along with my weekly recommendations of people to follow on Twitter.
- MacDaddy Links of the Week – 7/11/09
Here is a (somewhat) organized compilation of the articles, tutorials, free downloads and more that I have added to my personal bookmarks for my own use this week. I hope that by sharing these you will find some useful treasures of your own.
- 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.
