Follow Friday

Alright there my Twittery based chums....I'd like to talk about Follow Friday.

A bunch of people do them, they put the hashtag on the post and put a bunch of people's names on it.

The thing is, what's the etiquette for this. Do you have to put everyone you follow on there? Or everyone who follows you? do you have to thank everybody who #ff's you or do one in return?

Personally I try to cover as many people as I can but rather than spending time typing I do little videos but that's just me.

Some people like to do videos, some Boo, some make little webpages and some just say "go through my following list" if they're feeling lazy...I know, I've done it myself and it does save a lot of time and messing about and protects one's conscience in case you miss someone.

It's a nice idea this #ff lark and I like to join in but I can't help but feel a tad guilty if I miss someone out, especially if they #ff me. What do I do then? Do I return the gesture and run the risk that it will look like I'm only doing it because they did or just crack on and do it anyway?

Follow Friday, great idea but comes with such emotional perils.

Anyway, here's a video.
