Twitter Hashtag: ThanksThursday

In short, Twitter’s Follow Friday began as a way to recommend a favorite friend to others but it has evolved into more for some people.  Many (myself included) use it as a way to show gratitude for mentions and retweets during the week.   So now, instead of recommending a few of my favorite people, I’m listing hundreds of friends that were kind enough to RT or mention me.  And at least for me, this has gotten out of control.  (Read the full story of Follow Friday at Mashable.)

I’m not always good about thanking people who like what I post well enough to retweet it or who mention me and I want them to know they are appreciated!  That’s why I am using  Thanks Thursday for that purpose.    So, I will try my best to thank people every Thursday and you’ll see that hashtag #ThanksThursday.    ThanksThursday is already being used sometimes to show gratitude but maybe the concept will really take off and Follow Friday will once again be used to highlight a select few instead of (in my case) hundreds.   But, if I find it annoys people (you know, yet another day of listing people to follow!) than I’ll quit   We’ll see what happens!
