It’s an important point to give a reason. People lose interest in Follow Fridays when they just see a list of names. I feel it’s much better to just do 2 or 3 tweets focusing on one or two individuals in each and giving a reason why. That gives much more value to your network.

The #SMAEC event was a great success. We’ve set up a Linkedin Group for Architecture/Engineering/Construction firms (especially in the UK) to talk more about the subject here:

Also you might have noticed all the links from my presentation are now on Delicious – check the right hand column of this blog for “My Social Media Bookmarks”. Or they are all here:

Enthusiastic hashtag users can also archive all the tweets which use it (great for an event as the tweets fade after a week or two otherwise). Here’s the #SMAEC archive:

I love hashtags, they are so versatile!

Any more Followfriday suggestions?

I have seen many people still asking the question…what is #ff? or what is follow friday? This post explains it all.

There is one aspect of follow friday which i use and that is ‘resources’. I also recommend following ’streams’ such as ‘#measure’ for some great tips and people discussing how to measure marketing campaigns. There is also one for PR folks called #measurepr.

A great example is the recent #SMAEC stream which includes some great tips, construction industry stats, people and some great advice/discussions and blogposts.

Follow Friday should also be used to direct people to connect with other people as well as join other streams and have more discussions with like minded people with the same interests.
