What is #FollowFriday on Twitter All About?

If you are new to Twitter let me tell you about a little tradition started some time back. In efforts for friends to recomend other friends a hashtag was started to help organize the posts into a usable searchable database.

It is a great way to make new friends and get more followers. It is like a word of mouth endorsement from a close friend. Well, maybe it isn't all that! Some MLM companies and mass marketers over utilize the #FollowFriday to get more followers to spread their MLM and Make Money Quick schemes. But, I digress.....

One must have feature in using #FollowFriday is the use of the hashtag in the message field. Use #FollowFriday anywhere in your message and all the @tweeple listed will go into the database. For fun you can type #FollowFriday into the Search Twitter page and see just how many people are using it!

By Clicking HERE you can see how #FollowFriday is used. If you are logged into your twitter account your message area should have a message in it saying: "@ClearNetworking would like to share his FollowFriday Information with you http://tinyurl.com/cr8nmu" Please note you'll need to add the # to FollowFriday for it to actually work.

We will discuss more information on the use of #hashtags later on. If you have questions or comments I would love to hear them!
