First of all, if you don’t use Twitter, you will be wondering what I’m ranting about, so let me tell you.

#FF stands for #FollowFriday.

It should be used to promote those wonderful people who are worthy of following on Twitter and therefore should be used sparingly in my personal opinion otherwise what’s the point in it?

As your list of followers increases, it’s just impossible to include every follower and it becomes a chore. Plus, why would you want to #FF every follower?

From this day forward, I plan to only promote those followers who I actively engage with or I think that they’re worthy of following and I will state my reasons for promoting them.

I’ve compiled my very own do’s and don’ts which I’ve listed below. It will show you what I love and hate about #FF with number 1 being top of the list.

If you don’t agree that is fair enough as this is my personal opinion.

What I hate about #FF

1. Re-tweeting someone else’s #FF

This is just pure laziness and I think an opportunity hoping that you will be included in a return #FF. WTF? Actions like this simply make a farce out of the importance of #FF and should be discouraged.

2. Simply #FF

If you can’t be arsed to write why they’re worthy of a follow, then why promote them? Shouldn’t we make more of an effort to promote worthy people to follow i.e. those individuals who stand out above and beyond the rest, those people who make Twitter fun?

What I love about #FF

1. Those people who go out of their way to state why a person is worthy of following. Good on you for the effort and it’s a practice that I’m going to adopt.
