Tweeter Newbie? What is Follow Friday?

If you are new to Tweeter like me, you probably see a lot of the people you follow start spewing a lot of user names @Carlos_Ordonez preceded (or followed) by #followfriday. Well I found out what it is thanks to Mashable. The reason for this is so that new users like us can find suggestions on Twitter search about who to follow, but to be honest, I went to the search and found it overwhelming. What I have been doing is clicking on the suggestions of the people that I already follow, then take a look at some of their tweets, if I find them interesting I follow them as well.

Example:
#followfriday @Carlos_Ordonez @mashable etc.

Just add as many user names as possible in your tweet, rinse, repeat. Just don’t forget the ‘#’ hash/pound sign —It is very important. A good practice is to add the reason to follow whomever you are recommending, but I haven’t seen this done lately.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

This is a hilarious, phenomenal video, these guys are seriously talented. Watch the video and then go to their store if you want to purchase a replica of the t-shirts they wore on the video, they were actually selling the original t-shirts but they sold out by the time I went to check it out. If you enjoy this video, there are plenty more to see. It is very important that we support our creative people (unless you are a starving artist like myself and cant afford one).

Mailchimp Template Throwdown

Mailchimp is having a template design contest where you can win $600 by er, designing a template. What’s the catch you say? well, it has to be designed in all tables and inline CSS styles. This is sometimes cringe inducing work, I tried to recently copy the layout of a design (They were expanding the brand, so the layout had to match) from a website to another. I Failed. I had to use proper CSS techniques to achieve the look, doing it the other way made my head hurt. Anyway, this is not a whole website design, so an exception may be made. I know is kind of sucky when you have to make sure outlook renders it properly with its Microsoft Word HTML renderer *gasp* but hey, could mean $600.

Well, even if you don’t care about design and email campaigns and HTML or if you think table layouts are the work of the web devil, at least you can enjoy the awesome video below: (more…)
