For the follow friday you mention in the comment, it’s true sometimes is just a useless list of names. But I still like that tradition and have found great peeps to follow thanks to it. It’s also a nice shout out to people you enjoy following. The best way is to make it interesting is to indicate why to follow the Tweoples you #followfriday.

It is easier than ever to share and that will mean that we start ignoring more of what comes our way. It also means that to be remarkable, you will really have to do amazing things. It is easy to see that happening already. Poorly designed blogs, Twitter followers with no avatar and hastily written posts are generally ignored. Something really has to be amazing to be noticed. That means quality levels will continually increase. That’s a good thing. Tools will come online that will make it easier to create high quality work. However, I also think it will be increasingly difficult for newcomers to compete against already established bloggers and content providers who are consistently improving.

We will see much higher quality video, animations, original illustrations and well researched posts because those are the only ones that people will want to read and recommend. This is also related to your recent FREE post. All the content that is selling now, will soon be given away for free to attract readers for more remarkable content or services. The bar will continue to be raised.

And regarding the screamers, it’s called unfollowing. I actually did this today with a couple of “friends”.

Join WP already Elisa! Thanks for stopping by!

I would agree with the noise of “word of mouth” marketing online. There are people and businesses who use Twitter as a big loud soapbox without saying anything important, they’re just screaming. And people standing in the middle of a crowd screaming about nothing in particular generally get ignored because they’re crazy. We need to figure out how to separate the noise from the crazy soapbox screamers.
