If you’re on twitter, then you are more than likely aware of a little weekly twitter habit that people take part in on the network. Each Friday, people share and recommend other twitter users to people and take the recommendations as #followfriday or #ff
I’ve found quite a few great people to follow through this weekly twitter ritual. It’s an interesting phenomenon because the recommendations are usually right on. My own preferences and twitter habits mean that I pretty much only follow someone that I’m truly interested in hearing from and trust for a variety of reasons.
The challenge for me is to think about who I should recommend to my other followers as my own #followfriday recommendations. That’s where the Auto Follow Friday tool comes in.
Auto Follow Friday is very straight-forward. You enter your Twitter username, there’s no need for your password, and based on your twittering habits, the application will recommend a handful of other twitterers that you tweet most based on your previous 100 tweets.
What better recommendation than those people I’ve talked with most recently? I think to expand the tool it would be interesting to select different people based on different criteria on successive weeks.
Find some new folks to follow and dialogue with on twitter with Auto Follow Friday.
