Audio Commentary
We believe that Follow Friday was created in a genuine and well meaning attempt to provide a semantic, human filtered, recommendation system as well as a general appreciation platform for one’s friends and followers.
Even at the start Follow Friday was open to well-meaning misuse, sometimes quite different than than what we believe to be the destructive abuse that has developed.
The well-meaning misuse involves people attempting to increase their own social reputation through the generosity, or seeming generosity, of making Follow Friday recommendations of “high value follows”.
We all like to give and receive compliments, and ostensibly giving someone a Follow Friday recommendation is a way to do just that. Often people want to be inclusive—so they recommend lots. Most people feel a pressure to reciprocate when they receive a Follow Friday recommendation. Others might simply want to reciprocate. And while many people are genuine about all of this, there are some who are purposefully pimping their stats.
Follower Preselection: Or Why It Doesn’t Work
For a moment let us explore the assumption that the people one chooses to follow are selected purposely, and that having done so acts as a tacit recommendation on the part of the follower. Then in some sense, additional recommendation lists such as Follow Friday would be redundant.
So why are these kinds of list so prevalent? Is the mechanism of tacit recommendation broken or are we all a little less choosy than we should be when composing our twitter networks? Is this reasonably attributable to the change in the twitter game brought about by mass follower gathering by certain users?
Grant points out that since the follow lists are so long and do not provide ratings, as a practical matter, they are not particularly useful for identifying high value follows. We recommend that you consider this tactic: look for interesting people who are engaged with the twitter friends who you respect and/or admire.
Social Media: Experts, Strategists and Coaches
Many people on twitter want to add social media consulting or claims of social media expertise to their little bag of tricks. This is quite prevalent now. Indeed there seems to be a wave of people seeing social media consultancy as something they can just breeze into and use to make money from naive clients.
This ruse is assisted by the fact that it is difficult to prove social media expertise, but rather easy to claim it. One obvious way to lay claim to twitter expertise is to amass a large number of friends and followers. Another is to seek high rankings in the various twitter ranking systems or on twitter leaderboards.
These systems and leaderboards reward twitter account holders with increased scores for certain supposedly valued twitter behaviour. Generosity scores are based partly on the number of retweets that one tweets. Frequent publishing of the @names of others is considered generous as well. It is not hard to realize that retweeting a string of @name recommendations is a generosity ranking bonanza—a huge payoff in just one tweet.
But wait, wait there is more! Since each of the tweet @names is actually a live link to that user’s profile page, these tweets and retweets of a string of @names will also raise one’s all important signal to noise ratio which assumes that all live links have value.
You can see how this practice can be used to raise your twitter rankings, and thereby used to demonstrate your supposed social media expertise.
And, of course the practice has the ancillary benefit of flattering those whose @names are listed in your tweets and retweets as recommendations.
Nothing we have said here about the strategic gaming of rankings to demonstrate social media expertise is meant to understate the fact that rankings also play into our human psyches in ways that feed our human neediness. They are also public making them that much more attractive and thus sometimes a target for stat pimping.
Grant admits to caring about his own rankings and the rankings of others back when they were a more reliable indicator and made “quick glance metrics” worthwhile. He has noticed a significant rise in the number of twitter accounts with 2k-6k followers and a symmetrical follower/following ratio. He no longer believes in using follow/follower symmetry, the number of @replies, or the number of updates as a measure of quality. He believes that for any of the ranking systems to have value, they will have to become more savvy about twitter behaviour and more resistant to artificial manipulation.
Follow Friday’s Dirty Little Secret
Follow Friday’s “dirty little secret” is that very few people actually follow the Follow Friday recommendations. In our experience, even glowing, one person per tweet recommendations from popular and supposedly influential twitter account holders even when backed up with a reason to follow receive very little actual action.
Kay recently had some fun with this fact. One afternoon, as something of a joke, she DEMANDED that her followers immediately follow her buddy @ish. Seven or eight of her followers who were online at the time and are inclined to respond to such mischief actually did give in to Kay’s DEMAND. The clever @ish, a stand-up comedian, dubbed these new followers @KayBallard’s Obeyers, a name the equally clever followers accepted with great grace and humour. It was a brief virtual party complete with virtual pie, And very typical of the brief and fun flights of fancy that occur frequently in the twittersphere.
On twitter We Like to Introduce Individuals to Each Other
We like to introduce individual twitter friends to other individual twitter friends, one at a time as appropriate based on their interests. That kind of follow recommendation has meaning and usefulness. That kind of recommendation has juice and offers real potential for a meaningful conversations and valuable connections.
If you ever follow someone that you learn about through either one of us, please tell us so. That way when opportune we are able to follow up your action to follow with a personal introduction that opens the conversation and is likely to result in a follow back.
We both do this and agree that it has a lot of value but Grant is more inclined to wonder if the twitter paradigm actually supports it. Neither of us supports the creation of a twitter culture that requires such introductions and agree that twitter conversations have an energy and flow of their own and that frequently friendships and connections happen quite naturally. We both like to introduce ourselves by engaging personally when and where we see something of interest. Or, ever the comedians, we like to intrude on occasion to make a funny or clever remark, amusing mostly to ourselves.
It is a cliche, but an apt one: twitter is a Real Time Virtual Cocktail Party. We both find that our offline social skills serve us well at twitter. We believe that reciting lists of follow recommendations would be considered strange and rude behaviour at an offline cocktail party. Arguably, doing so is also strange and undesirable behaviour on twitter—even when validated by the Follow Friday hashtag.
What is at Stake? Why Any of This Matters
Like many of you, we unabashedly love twitter! It is our favourite social media platform—for us, the one that has the secret sauce! We have each made valuable connections and established meaningful friendships through twitter, the friendship between the two of us among them.
Currently time spent at twitter is still a rich experience and twitter continues to be an almost magical place to meet and connect virtually—in real time across miles, time zones and continents, one hundred forty characters at a time.
But sadly for those of us who love it, as twitter rapidly grows, it is undergoing what we consider unfortunate changes. Many have described the changes by saying that twitter is becoming spammier and spammier. What any one individual considers spam might differ. However, most would agree that excessive commercial messages, repeated postings of the same message, and the endless stream of Follow Friday tweets and retweets of Follow Friday tweets, are all examples of annoying clutter.
This spam—this growing deluge of useless tweets—threatens the capacity of twitter and wastes the time of twitter account holders, leading to a loss in their productivity and a much less satisfying user experience.
These changes in the content and quality of the twitter updates or tweets might ultimately have a devastating effect on the nature of the twitter user experience. Or bring about gated or off the grid communities whose more homogeneous nature would surely dilute the rich diversity of the twitter experience.
Currently, twitter is the favoured social networking platform of a high-achieving crowd. That is crucial to its appeal to the the two of us and to similarly situated current and future users. We believe that the fabulously fun and accomplished people that you, and we, would like to meet, connect with, and get to know through our continued and ongoing use of twitter would have little patience for a noisy and cluttered tweet stream and would be unlikely to become or remain twitter users.
And we would hate that!
To add depth to our discourse we have asked some respected individuals to provide us with audio providing their point of view on Follow Friday.

Daniele Di Gregorio (aka @ikaronet) talks to us about his follow friday experiment and the negative impact on his follower count
Sometimes I think that people are way too serious about this whole organic process that is called “Social” media.
Would you walk into a pub, look everyone up and down and purposefully go, “I’ll introduce myself to that guy cause he looks like he’s got a lot of friends and maybe if I am nice to him he’ll buy what I’m selling and tell his mates to do the same”?
I approach Twitter from a “social” platform perspective. If I transact any business there, it is simply a secondary process. I do, however, like I would with my friends in the real world, share my work with my friends to get objective feedback. This I see as being a natural part of a relationship.
I think that the #followfriday, which I personally retweet out of respect to the person that tweeted to me, is a little out of control. I personally feel a little pressured to tweet #followfriday tweets, whereas, I previously I would have personally just introduced my friends as it was appropriate.
My message to other Tweeters is Twitter may be a great tool for your business, but seriously, it is a “Social” platform first and foremost. Treat it with the respect that you would any other “social” setting. Then things like #followfriday would not be necessary, as you would not just get a megaphone and say “Hey world, my friend ### is a really great bloke. Be his friend.” No, you would personally introduce him to others who shared some kind of a common interest. Why should Twitter be any different?
Great posting. I for one do use all the suggestions and try to folow back as often as I can. I know I cna’t be everything to everyone, but I certianly can be something to everyone. Just like a host at a large party. You can’t be part of every conversation, but you are there when needed to lend a helping social hand. I too feel that follow Friday has cause some huge static in the system. Where does it end? I’m all for being thankful for my friends, but I think it gets in the way of the actual message.
@tommytrc
Kay/Grant – Really nicely done. I like that your post is well thought out, clearly written and touches on a point that I’ve been thinking a lot about myself. I also appreciated the opportunity to be interviewed for this “manifesto.”
Follow Friday or not, you both are people I truly enjoy conversing with on Twitter.
Best,
Aaron | @aaronstrout
While I do understand the views expressed here, I feel that the whole matter is being taken a bit too seriously. Why not just enjoy twitter and ignore what each individual finds to be clutter or noise? It seems that every day, there’s more and more commentary on what is socially acceptable behavior on twitter. Frankly, it seems to me that these critiques are often self-serving for those who post them, portraying the author in an “expert” position or in the know. Not saying that you’re attempting to do that here, but who knows? It’s all relative and can be left to intepretation.
My take.
Kay, I hate to say it, but I disagree. I find a lot of the people I follow by recommendation on Follow Friday. I look for the tweets where someone writes something about the people they are recommending, like “great gardeners”, and if they aren’t people I follow, I am likely to add them.
Conversely, I can pick up as many as 200 followers on follow Friday…I don’t NEED 200 followers…but that can happen. I happen to love FF because it gives me a chance to highlight the people I really enjoy following…people who make a sincere contribution.
And, it is worth mentioning that not all social media marketing consultants are flakes…as I do not consider myself a flake and don’t use FF to build ridiculous numbers or spam people. Anyone who is doing that doesn’t have the first idea about real social media marketing and its culture and value as a branding tool.
But hey, the great thing about Twitter is that if someone doesn’t don’t like something, they can always opt out, or change the channel…though with something as popular as FF, they might have to avoid it for the better part of the Friday.
Thanks for your thoughtful and well researched article. It is clear that you are very passionate about this topic!
@jeanannvk
I’m going to play both sides of this Kay. I’m going to start by saying I love engaging with you on Twitter even if we disagree on this topic, and would endorse you as a great follow on any day of the week. I do agree with some of the points here, although I will say it I think you’ve over analyzed it and taken it too seriously.
It makes me feel good when someone recommends me for Follow Friday, especially if it’s for being a skilled PR pro, nice, funny, engaging or an otherwise relevant and heartfelt endorsement. When Follow Friday first started as soon as I got an endorsement I’d easily get five or ten followers, usually from like minded professionals eager to find other PR, marketing and SM pros to interact with. I like that, and that’s one of the primary reasons I’m on Twitter – to meet peers I wouldn’t have known otherwise. I also like to issue recommendations to people I like talking with and learning from on Twitter and every endorsement I give I put thought into and it comes from the heart.
Now, the flip side. I do think people have become sort of disenchanted and desensitized with FF. I no longer see a surge of new like minded friends from my FF recos. I think there is a major disconnect with the whole concept when every week someone recommends me as a “good follow” when he or she isn’t even following me – indicating a regurgitation of someone elses list. And I myself look blindly at the lists of names that contain no explanation as to why it makes sense for me to follow them where I used to get excited about meeting new professionals
I think these are easy fixes because I love the thinking behind follow friday – introductions to new and interesting friends. Make it less about remembering everyone you like talking too and just select a handful of people you want to acknowledge each week, and make sure to give a well considered reason why your friends need to know each other. Go Follow Friday!!
I actually love Follow Friday. I use it almost like an umbrella Favrd shout out. If I think someone I’m following has consistently interesting or funny tweets, they go on my Follow Friday list. I don’t feel obliged to do it every week. On the other hand, I rely on Follow Friday to introduce me to new people. I rarely have the time or patience to go to individual profiles to check out who someone is following, particularly with the technical issues Twitter has had of late. Follow Friday provides one day of recommendations coming directly to me. I may not follow the recommendations, but I appreciate having them.
I love this post. Mostly because its is so outside of the spirit of #followfriday.
Here is the concept as stated in the post http://learntoduck.com/micah/follow-friday
1) indicate people you are proud to follow
2) mention why you like them
3) add the hashtag #followfriday
The outcome should be: Hey I trust @geekmommy, she suggested I follow @queenofspain, so I am going to check @queenofspain out. Not blindly, but with the added value of a trusted recommendation.
your example of “Kay’s DEMAND” is not really valid. In truth, people who follow her AND trust her did as they were asked. Its nothing different than getting her a drink of water if she DEMANDed that she was thirsty and needed it. Its the trust that drove the follow, not the demanding.
Twitter is about fluid communication. On lots of occasions, people follow and unfollow me. Thats their choice. I assume that those who follow me do it because 1) they enjoy it. They may have found me through a trusted recommendation or #followfriday, but they follow me because I add value to their twitter stream.
After all, thats what this manifesto fails to address: #followfriday is about DISCOVERY. Doesnt matter how potential follows are surfaced, it is up to the individual to choose to follow or not.
Totally open to discussing this futher – micah [at] currentwisdom [dot] com or @micah on twitter.
Kay & Grant:
Very well said. Thank you for interviewing me and allowing me to be a part of what you’re trying to get out there about this.
I honestly believe that if people had followed @micah’s original intent – to introduce others to one or two folks of interest that they might not yet have discovered organically – was brilliant and flows right along with the cocktail party nature of Twitter. More of a “hey, have you met @Bob? He’s an old friend of mine” than what most people have turned it into.
Your point about listing names being odd behavior at a live cocktail party strikes home for me. Kind of like someone walking up and saying “have you met bob, ken, mary, anna, tim, steve, joey, and len?? They’re very cool” and then wandering off to talk about something else.
Thanks again for the opportunity to assist here.
@Kay and Grant – Once again, thank you for including me in this important discussion, and it’s good to see a healthy dialogue brewing with multiple points of view. It is, after all, about the conversation, and nurturing social forums where people can share different perspectives around a topic. I welcome all feedback, and am happy to see people participating in this discussion.
@Micah – As I said, I believe that the true spirit of Follow Friday was sound and very well intended, but certainly you can admit that the rules that you set out are no longer being followed by a majority of users, who instead, are spamming their networks with multiple lists of names with no context and retweeting other users’ lists, or lists where they are mentioned themselves. I am a huge supporter of discovery, which is one of the reasons that I think services such as Mr. Tweet can be highly valuable (although even their recommendation engine is also starting to be abused much in the same way #FollowFriday has), and sites like Backtype also offer relevant ways to discover and connect with people around mutual topics of interest. In an oversaturated space where the noise-to-value ratio continues to increase, human-aided recommendations and semantic technology is critical to filter out the junk and build a relevant network where true sharing and collaboration can take place. This is obviously what you set out to do, and there are people who honor that intention by creating context in their #FollowFriday tweets. @lollydaskal is a good example of this, who spent a considerable amount of time today offering relevant insights around her recommendations. But the offenders continue to grow in epic quantities, tweeting only laundry lists of names, or one person in particular who tweeted the same exact thing with a different username over 50 times this morning. In my opinion, using the cocktail party metaphor, the community would be better served making recommendations on an ongoing basis (as new and interesting people enter their purview), outside of a meme, and without the spam practices that are commonly associated with hashtagging.
The bottom line is that Twitter has positively impacted my life — both personally and professionally — but if people continue to use the system as a megaphone, or “friend collecting” tool, the user experience will suffer, and ultimately, the value along with it.
The value is in the relationships, not the numbers, so care should be taken to curate your network organically over time, so that you can cultivate those relationships, not rack up tens of thousands of friends with whom you could never truly interact substantively anyway. You build a house brick by brick so that the foundation is strong and can last over time. Shortcutting that process by slapping up cardboard walls won’t stand the test of time, especially with 10,000+ random users weighing it down.
Great first post guys. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.
Moving immediately into solution mode, how do we create a disincentive for this behaviour?
The most powerful tools in the twitter box IMO are strictly managing who you follow, and the ability to spread information and opinion quickly.
Incisive posts like this combined with an active campaign to unfollow egomanics/SM experts/followfriday whores may be a start.
What do you think?
I’ve ranted some on and off Twitter—which I, too, appreciate and would miss an awful lot if it disappeared or got very much more commercialized by an owner such as Google, say—about all the marketers and SEO types. That said, as much as I participate for contact and just the fun of it, particularly when I’m on a project for hours deep into the night and feeling isolated, I’m on it to further my professional reach as a book designer. Ultimately, it’s another part of my open-ended job interview with potential clients who might tumble upon me there.
So, of course, I feel it serves me to expand my number of followers. I never know who could wind up writing and self-publishing a book that they might need a designer for. But I still try to follow people who do book design and poduction work themselves, are otherwise involved in publishing work, who write, or who simply say things I find interesting. For the most part that leaves out marketing and SEO types, although there are some who I include because they are fun to read and sound as if they have a great deal of integrity.
That still allows me to leave out a great many. Which I am sure is reflected in how few followers I have. On the other hand, coming from the angle that I do, that I use Twitter to engage with those I follow, I am always faced with a lot of tweets to read and a lot to reply to, even tho’ I prob’ly reply to only a few percent of all I read.
In the beginning, too, I secretly seethed at the people who seemed to do nothing but RT—i.e., retweet. People who likely never had an original thought of their own, I thought. But, as with most everything in life, that proved a generalization that would have bit me if I’d ever said it out loud (which I hadn’t until now). I say that, because I’ve begun to RT some, when I read something that I want to give others the opportunity to read. Same thing with tweets that are basically just links to blogs and articles online.
Follow Friday’s similar for me. There are people I enjoy reading that I think others might enjoy or otherwise benefit from reading. And, too, I sometimes run into someone who seems to have something valuable to say who’s just started tweeting and has virtually no followers. I use FF to give them some exposure.
Interestingly, I still find such kindnesses easier to extend online, in virtual life, than out in the real world. But that is for another time, another discussion, and very likely on a couch with Doctor Frood listening.
What a kick ass first post. I had to do a double take when I added you to my reader. Couldn’t quite believe my eyes. Looking forward to seeing more dirty little twitter secrets revealed and debated from your provocative point of view.
Posting irrelevant lists is spam. In this case it’s friendspam. How do I filter this out for now? I COULD use Twalala or unfollow those who choose to list names meaninglessly. Instead I choose to avoid Fridays on Twitter like the plague. Should this be what I resort to? Having to avoid a social network because the noise is unbearable because of a seemingly innocuous event like Followfriday? Well, this is exactly what happens when one doesn’t carefully plan. Relate this to a business situation and a company would have a HUGE problem on their hands right about now.
The intention may have been to let others know who you value but without a guideline to judge if they are relevant- why you value them- then the recommendation is just meaningless and bothersome.
The problem also is with us. We don’t bring the offenders to task often enough. Right now I just avoid it. If we confront all of the offenders head on individually we can temper the storm. Enough outcry has greatly reduced autoDMs, as well as having one company (SocialToo) completely get rid of them altogether. Clogging up the Twitter stream with endless noise is not ok. It’s up to us to set forth proper practices of decency in all social media spheres, especially Twitter.
The problem isn’t necessarily with traditional spammers per se. Followfriday turns your normal friends into spammers. Labeling a list of people under one category can help temper the noise but it’s only a band-aid on a larger problem. People need to be addressed as individuals with their pros and cons, not aggregated under a general category. Social media speaks to people on individual levels. By lumping people together in a category you just put old tactics onto new ways of communications.
@micah and others.
Follow Friday was a great idea. Your intent is noble and pure.
Twinkies are a great snack. A wonderful treat. But when 90% of the people who are eating Twinkies are using them as meal replacement, then maybe it’s time to lobby against the way Twinkies are being promoted and advertised.
I come not to ban the Twinkie, but to praise it! (as a dessert, not as a main course.)
About the follow friday i have to say that the problem is not ethical, but pretty pratical.
I have “just” 400 followers, and on friday it’s almost impossible to follow all twits because of FFriday.
How can i read the suggestions of my followers if there are hundreds of nickname running on the timeline each 10 minutes?
It’s noise hiding signal.
But also i believe that it’s people who create situations. There nothing “bad” or “good”, is the way we act that make something bad or good.
So, there is no rule to follow. We just have to act on ourselves to change the way we interact with others.
This Manifesto could be a good start point to seed a conversation in order to discover the best way to interact between ourselves…
I hope that my english is not so… “broken”

This is an incredible article and can see how easy it is to get snookered into “Follow Me I Am A Guru” type crowds. Doesn’t just apply to Follow Friday but ALL of them. It truly is an insidious “Unbranding” of fellow Twitters as it is only saying “waste your time and brand me”, the leader. Glad you are savvy smart enough to have figured this out. TY Kay. U r very very wise and can see saved me a lot of time that could have been easily wasted.
Sincerely, xxx000

PS: And when I bring it up I get the same old same old “But I get soooo many new friends and followers from it.”
And I say, Would you rather have 3000 followers who promote and buy your brand, and help brand you, or 200,000 followers who buy nothing, never brand you back, and make you feel guilty if you don’t play the game of branding them only. These type groups are the Amway of Twitter, no doubt.
Sincerely,
Rick London
As a rule I don’t follow people without a specified reason to do so. A simple yes/no recommendation does not work for me.
Even if a close friend of mine recommends a follow, I will not follow unless given some info about the person my friend wants me to follow.
Keep things interesting, rather than rote.
Be conscious. Don’t just click.
Since some of the most interesting people I have met on Twitter came to my attention through FF, I would be being hypocritical if I were to decry it. At the same time, I am very aware of the clutter it causes.
Because of that, I have taken to adding people I would like to recommend to a web page and tweeting a link to that page about four times in the course of each Friday.
Although I do not put descriptions of those individuals on the page, the one thing they all have in common is being liked enough by me to warrant being mentioned there (although the list is by no means inclusive of all those I would like to mention) and each week I add a few more names and links to the relevant profiles.
What worries me more than having to accept that Fridays are now awash with recommendation tweets and little else gets through, is that I have noticed that this is now spreading to the other days of the week.
From where I am sitting, it would be better to agree on one day a week (Friday is good because it gives one all weekend to check out those recommended and select the ones who seem interesting) and accept rush hour traffic on that day than to say nothing while others strike up FollowMondays etc.
Since I don’t wish to be rude or put anyone down, I intend to ask people politely if they would please not include me in any recommendations outside of Friday, to avoid involving me in the annoyance of others and hope that they will get the hint about the annoyance and desist altogether.
Having said all that, if I find the behaviour of a given individual annoying I feel perfectly at liberty to unfollow them or send a DM asking if they are aware that their behaviour may be less than sociable. If they are not following me and yet including my name in tweets I feel perfectly at liberty to address them about my annoyance in the public stream and if they still persist I will go to their profile and block them as a way of indicating to Twitter that this person is annoying me.
When enough people block someone, Twitter look into their activities. If it is just me being crotchety, I wouldn’t want a person castigated. If necessary, I will ask those who have been including me in tweets that are being retweeted by those people to stop mentioning me and, if they do not, they will get unfollowed too.
It is annoying that so many people seem to have grasped the wrong end of the stick on Twitter, or perhaps even the wrong stick, but I like to think they will tire of it when they realize that it isn’t getting them where they want to go and those of us who are patient will end up talking with people we really enjoy knowing, many of whom we might well never have met were it not for FollowFriday
