To #ff or not, this is the question each Friday on Twitter. And it’s a tough one. Besides the fact that it takes some time to recommend the gems of your timeline if you want to give more information than just their name and a #ff, it seems that using the #ff too often is an invitation for spam bots to start following you and the people you mention.
I’ve experienced a significant loss of followers on those days when I actually recommend people. And others have told me that they’d rather not be mentioned because they get too much spam afterwards.
So, the decision each Friday is: do I let my actions be influenced by some stupid bots and spammers and not talk about the people whom I really appreciate, or do I just not care and give recommendations anyway?
This Friday, I will not have enough time to write something about those wonderful people in my timeline, but of course you’re all welcome to follow all of them because they’re just worth it 🙂
