Thread: Follow Friday?

Is it true it got abandoned?

I read somewhere that Twitter had, for some reason, disallowed it, and then last friday I didn't see anyone taking part, so I was just wondering if it still exists?

If not it'd be a real shame, as it was such a good opportunity to reach out to new followers and make new friends.

Thanks.

Well... Twitter removed the function for people to see all the replies to other people. Which means a lot of follow fridays got lost. A lot of big players are also stopping to #followfriday people because it has kind of lost it's cause.
Have you ever followed anyone thanks to a #followfriday tweet? I'm sure I have only in some rare cases.

What I like to do is write a small recommendation with a reason why people should follow that person and only recommend about 2/3 per friday.

I get as much followers on a Tuesday as on a Friday. so yeah. my 2 cents

As I mentioned in the other thread, #followfriday is crap now. It has lost its meaning.
