Once again Twitter takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary.
Each Friday on Twitter is Follow Friday. It the opportunity to recommend other Twitterer's people you feel make good people to follow. The basis on how this is determined is completely personal.
Meaning you may find someone funny, or great info how ever you make that choice. Then you can send out a tweet in your "update" area with the suggestions.
Its Twitterquet (twitter etiquette) to put the @ symbol in front of each suggestion. This allows those that see the tweet to be able to click on them and follow them right from your update.
So if your on Twitter- Suggest some great follows for others.
If your not on twitter, then get on it, and see who gets recommended to you. Don't be surprised to see your own name tweeted out.
Till the next event

Twitter - Bringing value
What a phenomenon!
This is becoming a not only a household name, but a business tool as well. The challenge is that there are so many people that don't know how to use this as an effective tool, without sounding like a pitch man, or woman!
I hope I can share with you thoughts as I see them, and not as hard and fast rules. Twitter is a way for you to hear, be heard, and learn what is happening inside of a group of minds you choose to follow. That is it in a nut shell.
You begin with an account, then you have to 'update' what you are doing. The challenge is, what to say in the beginning. Well, say whatever your doing, "setting up my account, hello twitterland".
There are so many ways to find a segment of people that you feel you can connect with, "find people" in the tool bar on your page. Go there, and type in a word you might want to find. Lets see you could put, -success, meditation, money, opportunity, technical, military... get the idea?
Now you find some folks, and you can review their info, and choose to follow them. You will now begin to get their tweets as they are called.
Usually they will also follow you back, and then when you give an Update, they will be receivers of your info.
The key is to bring value. Think of it this way... they are following you, make sure you lead them with valuable information, so they continue to follow you. Its a volunteer army that is following, they can leave at any time.
Wishing you the best, and know that you are special to me, and those that love you. Make a difference.
