Brian,

1st off, you have a FANTASTIC first name! (just kidding)

I am beginning to see people do this more & more as the noise of pointless #FollowFriday lists increases. A little over a month ago I started doing this every Friday myself on my own blog (not my original idea, but liked it when I saw others doing it) and I have also tried to encourage the use of other recommendation tools – especially Mr. Tweet. I wrote a post about it here: http://bkmacdaddy.com/blog/how-to-use-mrtweet-instead-of-followfriday-my-weekly-recommendations

I really like how you gave serious AND humorous reasons for following people. Great idea and great way to do it!

Thanks for yet another wonderful post on your blog!

Hey so your the one that followed me on your following Friday lol. Sorry I mean no disrespect but I added you because your blog along with the others I added are all blogs that I read regularly and I added alot of people on the same day. But thank you. I hope that I can be a more interesting person to follow in the next coming months. Right now I am doing alot of reading and research and trying to keep things like twitter away from me as to not distract me.

LaurenMarie, thanks! Yeah, I see no value at all in the big list of followfriday tweets. I have never followed someone just because their name is jumbled in a list like that. I need a reason to follow someone. Randa, no problem, Feel free to copy! I don't think I've seen a post about "people to follow on Twitter" in this way, and I thought it would be a useful way to highlight some people. Michael, yeah, I could have made this entire post about his smart assness! David, how embarrassed you'll be when my team's inappropriate name is displayed at the top of the table! Jebus can't save you! Jebus has left the building. Gerasimos, what Andy and Calvin don't tell you is that they are the pioneers of the "Tweetshops", where they enslave 8 yr old Californian children to tweet each day for them for 22 hours. One typo and Calvin gets all "Hulky" on them.

I saw the 4 ‘pics’ for to vote after your articles, a part Digg.com i didn’t know how many dofollow social bookmarks Webmaster designers can uses to help Your blogs; That’s a disaster for easy bloggers as me!!! Terrible and beautiful at same time. Goodbye from Perugia, Italy…

Great idea for a post, buddy. Much better than a tweet with @@@@@@@.

Word of advice, I’d keep that ripping to a minimum this season or you won’t see any of that fantasy league wager. What am I saying? You won’t see any of it anyway. My team’s gonna walk all over yours.
