I will try and do that, or a variation of it, once a week or so.

I am a thankful person, but it is tough to thank everyone you follow for their content. It is also tough to thank those who thank you. Can you imagine if it was customary to thank those who thanked you for thanking them? Posting suggested follows on a blog is a terrific idea. This way you are able to explain why the person is a suggested follow in more than 140 characters. Those such as yourself Edward must be flooded when #FF comes around each week. I commend you for doing this. I have a feeling we will continue to flood and be flooded though. I plan on spreading my thank you tweets out. Why must we wait until Friday to thank or suggest a person to follow? Do the hashtags work? Who follows the #FF hashtag? How about #MarketerMonday tag (which is 15 characters... ouch!)? I follow people if they have rich content that is insightful, not because they were part of a laundry list on Follow Friday. I also don't follow someone because they decide to follow me. It seems fake in some ways to follow more than a few hundred people. At what point does it become impossible to interact? read/listen? I have many lists and I am able to arrange tweeters by content.
