People complain about #FollowFriday because people just throw out a bunch of names without giving any reason to follow the people on the list. My solution has been to provide a reason or theme with each person I recommend. For instance,
#followfriday @agrahamwilcox <- Must follow for NBA fans

Julia Roy Schools the Michael Schneider on Tweety from the Michael Schneider on Vimeo.
I’ve tried all of the free twitter iPhone applications only to come to the conclusion “you get what you pay for”. I left Twitteriffic for Twittelator and then for Twitterfon, but simple features like following people and tweeting from more than [...]
