#followfriday: @MissBeckala's Top 200!

Instead of doing individual tweets this week, I decided to just make a big list and put it on my blog. At first it was small, but once I started thinking about all the tweeps I love, it was growing by leaps and bounds! I really enjoy all my tweeps, but these 200 (in alphabetical order) make my time on Twitter extra special. Some are celebs, some are friends in real life, and most are people I never would have had the chance to speak to if it weren’t for Twitter. If you aren’t following every single person listed below, you are missing out!

Thanks Becky! Wow, what a thoughtful Twitter friend you are to so many people – that’s serious dedication!

Thanks for the PR! And, you would be on my top 200 list too, although I’m still new on Twitter and I only have 300+ right now. But, regardless – you’d still be on it Hopefully that grows now b/c of your blog. Thanks again!

Hiya Becky – I smiled when I saw MY name on YOUR list. Thank you for including me in your recommendations. *smiles*

Whilst all of the recommendation processes take up a lot of time, I think it is well worth the effort to do it manually and provide instant feedback if at all possible. Like you, I have well over 200 people I like to personally recommend that others follow. It is mainly aimed at the ‘new followers’ I have gained over the previous 7 days.

I manually prepare my list in an email to myself, and do a ‘copy & paste’ of each one onto the Twitter page. I also personalize each message so it doesn’t become boring.

I use this during my #SpankyouThursday process which I created. It takes HOURS to do but I feel it’s very rewarding and ‘quality followers’ are gained as a result.

I have thought about doing it ‘your way’ and posting a list onto a blog or one of my many websites, but I want to keep it under ‘control’ by doing it manually.

I would love to learn how ‘effective’ you think your ‘method’ has been after a month or so. It would be a very interesting comparison to make.

Thanks again Becky for your online Twitter friendship and your continuing recommendations.
