What is it: #FridayFollow or #FollowFriday?

No matter if you call it Friday Follow or Follow Friday, at the end of each work week you’ll find thousands (if not millions) of people using hashtags to give digital shout outs to their friends and fans on Twitter.

The Friday Follow tradition is great for finding new and interesting tweeters. And since the #FridayFollow hashtags are posted by other tweeps who know them, they’re usually great introductions. If you like one person on Twitter, you’ll often like someone they follow. But you don’t have to limit yourself to only checking out the #FridayFollow recommendations from people you follow, you can do a Twitter search for the common #FridayFollow hashtags to see everyone’s #FF.

A #FridayFollow can come in many different forms, but they generally look like this (an example of recommending yours truly):

If you crack open the Twitter search site and do a search, or if you click on one of the links I’ve provided below, you’ll see a lot of love being shared with other folks on Twitter. (Especially on a Friday) Oh, and keep in mind that as with most Twitter-related searches, none of the search terms below are case sensitive.

Some people do one #FF per tweet and say something specific about the person they’re recommending, some post one tweet with a #FF and link to a bunch of people, and some people (like me) mix it up. Once you get through your first few Friday’s on Twitter you’ll get the hang of it. :)

You can follow me on Twitter at @halfbrown and check out all of my #FridayFollow tweeps.
