FollowFriday.com

New Website to Manage and View #FollowFriday

I have been a fan of using #followfriday since I started using Twitter. I think of it as a way of being grateful to the key people who I interact with (on Twitter) during the week. When I first started using twitter every Friday I included most of the people that I interacted with during the week.

I was able to use FollowFriday.com as a beta tester and was initially impressed.
I found many benefits to the blog. The most practical one I Found is the creation of lists of the people that sent a #followfriday to a user and the option to send them a default tweet thanking (so you don’t forget).
Some of the Initial features are:
  • Very balanced front page with a Ranking of the user with the most mentions including the #FollowFriday hashtag.
  • Ranking by Country – is unique because it allows people to view who in their country received the most #FollowFriday .
  • Ranking by Language – Same as the Ranking by Country it gives you an idea on how was given the most #FollowFriday by Language.
  • Ranking by Verified – Separates the rest of twitter with those very privileged and validated verified accounts which are very well know users, companies, or celebrities.
  • It limits users who make more than 50 recommendations which can be used to get a #FollowFriday in return. Rules over all are very simple.
  • Widgets – as of right now it allows you to create a Widget for your blog or website with any selected user.
  • Very simple FAQ’s section which helps understand the process of the ranking of users.
