I must admit Follow Friday's, #followfriday or #FF are great, don't get me wrong, but week after week I see the same mind numbingly boring tweet recommendations done because it now seems 'obligatory' to do so.

Personally I think Follow Fridays are important on Twitter, in that it helps you and your followers connect to interesting and engaging people and businesses, that you may not have discovered yourself.

Look I'm not saying lets scrap the Follow Fridays at all, in fact I think we should embrace them and start looking at ways to improve your follow tweets. The day of the mass follow still has its place, but I am suggesting making personalised #FollowFriday tweets for your most valued twitter user.

When we want to get more users to follow our clients who use twitter we give the potential followers a 'heads up' if you like so at least they know why we are recommending them, so with that in mind here are a few examples how it works...

Example 1 - Mention what the company sells/produces
#FF our good friends @skof for exceptional quality Australian made Office Furniture and Office Chairs

Example 2 - Specify why they should follow this user
#FollowFriday @hatzijewels awesome information about Diamond Engagement and Wedding Ring care and cleaning

Example 3 - A personal recommendation
#FF some our best customers and people you can trust @sydneycars @tevansracing @lajollavr we totally recommend
