It was a great idea in the beginning, let your followers know about good people to follow on twitter. I admit such a referral system is much needed especially since every day i get a new follower who has 5000 followers 5000 people they are following and 10 tweets, not gonna follow you back,  sorry, don’t care how great you look.

Problem is, people are too excited and have taken this too far, Friday now is a sea of blue @a @b @c …. #followfriday. I  am starting to get annoyed. #FollowFriday and twitter feels like a flee market, with people screaming Hey there, look over here, i got such a great deal for you. Hey Hey, check this out, so and so is #followfriday worthy. As if twitter needs more noise.

So Twitter, can you please create some referral/rating system, its badly needed.

Twitter users, lets make a deal. Please only follow people who truly are follow worthy. If you do that, we dont need a #followfriday. This way I will know that all the people you are following are good. If you dont think someone is worthy of your followfriday tweet, then drop them and that includes me. Lets just end this madness.

So there you go, your guilt free pass to unfollow me, clean up twitter, and make Friday a #tweetfriendlyfriday
