First, if you have a story to tell, do NOT use six or eight or ten consecutive tweets to tell it. With the number of accounts I read, and since the timeline starts with most recent posts, your story is being told backwards and with large gaps between tweets. Those gaps are filled with other, and often more interesting, tweets. If you want to write a story, start a blog already and post a link to it.
Also, regarding "Follow Fridays," don't make posts recommending EVERY ONE of your 483 followers. I don't need to see posts like "#ff @lugioretur @oasdgiogf @apfuweiou @poidugio @aseuggirgvv @potgysdgrgr @qweiggrho"* over and over and over and over and over. And if you're going to give reasons to recommend someone, such as "#ff @JoeInPhilly 'cuz he's really smart and cool and funny and great in bed"** do it just a few times and not a few DOZEN. Make "Follow Fridays" something special and worthwhile. If you just throw up a bunch of names I'm not going to pay attention.
*not actual Twitter accounts
**actual Twitter account, and a 100 percent accurate description as well. Especially the part about being great in bed. Don't believe me? Prove me wrong, boys, prove me wrong.
