Follow Friday – 12th February 2010
When I started this blog, my first post was about a new in-depth way to take part in the popular Twitter trend #FollowFriday. My blog post even inspired my workmate @Chutzpah84 – who I recommended in that post – to create his own blog with his Follow Fridays.
I’ve been a bit slack on following my first go, since that was the 27th of November, but here we go…
The first round goes to my new workmates who are still terribly bewildered by Twitter, so help out @hamsterpawz, @jameskellock101 and @mr_ozmaster. These guys all work together in the Gradwell Sales office, and have felt that Twitter has passed them by, so are drastically trying to catchup with everyone else!
My second recommendation is another Gradwell workmate. @lgladdy is a great source of tech news (with a little iBias), hot bargains and new interesting apps (such as Glympse). He is a generally happy, giggly fellow who seems to thrive when given a project, whether it be develop the Gradwell homepage or find me some cheap shoes!
My third promo slot goes to a podcast. This only really applies if you like football, but the @FootballRamble is a fantastic listen. Very funny down-to-earth guys, who can deliver an in-depth analysis of the latest football news when needed, plus there is the profile at the end of every episode, teaching you about some of football history’s great players, teams, competitions and venues.
Staying on the football lines, @optajoe is like a sporting rainman and gets my fourth nod. An endless feed of stats and sequences relating to the latest football news and results. How many goals have a certain team scored in the last 15 mins of each match? What percentage of goals have been conceded from corners? What are the head-to-head results of an upcoming clash? Opta Joe is your man. And if you like different sports or countries there is Opta Jean, Opta Jim, Opta Jose and Opta Paolo to choose from!
I do have a few more to recommend, but I’ve run out of space on my tweet for all their usernames, so they can wait until next week!
