I somewhere find myself in this article.

It’s indeed a better way to compile and share some of your followers to others. I have been doing that since September.

I even came up with this idea I posted this week. It’s difficult for me to keep conversations every day with all my great tweeps because I don’t always have the time for it. But sometimes I do check up on them by saying hi and asking how’s everything. =)

I decided to create a Millionaire Monday post to give thanks to the wonderful people we follow on Twitter. The name of the post says it all, a million thanks worth a millionaire Monday. You can check that post here _http://skillz-community.net/blog/millionaire-monday/millionairemonday-05/

Long story short, I’m a fan and frequent reader of your blog. You always share inspirational and creative links. This article is another example of why I think you also deserve a million thanks.

P.S I think I’m definitely quitting the ff tweets with all user names. Thanks for writing and sharing this article.

This is a great idea and much more authentic than just popping a name into the remaining 138 characters.

Think I’ll follow suit!

Ecellent article, we all have gotten caught up in the #followfriday thing trying to grow our followers.

I generall recommend people who actually engage with me on Twitter. Thats my requirement for recommending people.

Good post.

Here´s another one who appreciates the time and effort needed to compile a “non-list” like this. I too have been using Mr Tweet to recommend people instead of the blah blah #ff method which I feel doesn´t do justice to the cool people on my handpicked “friends” list.

I also totally agree with your position on FollowFriday. From this week I will be using Mr Tweet to suggest names to follow & explain why I find them interesting.
