If you have just started to use Twitter sometimes you will see a tweet that looks like this:<\/p>\n
#FF @mccordweb, @czworldwide, @bedbugexpert<\/p>\n
What exactly is this and why is it done? The above line on Twitter would be calling other users attention to Twitter profiles that you think are noteworthy. The #FF means the tweet has been tagged as a Follow Friday tweet and appears in Twitter searches under Follow Friday search index.<\/p>\n
Follow Friday has been something that has been around since Twitter started. It means, if your name appears in someone’s list, that they like your tweets and think you have something to say of value. Sometimes you will see people do a tweet like this on other days but typically in “Twitter Culture” these kind of posts are done on Fridays.<\/p>\n
It is a fine complement to be included in another Twitter users Follow Friday list. When I get mentioned I always send a direct message back to the person who has recommended me with a thank you. Not only is it a complement, but you can pick up new followers from the network of the person who mentioned you as many users will click in to check out who was recommended and consider following them as well. Personally I do this as well as a way to find out who the people I really watch like and follow themselves.<\/p>\n
So this Friday, why don’t you list a few tweeters you like and use the #FF syntax. If you want to mention me, my Twitter ID is mccordweb. I would be most grateful if you would. See you on Twitter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
