I think for the new Twitter user this format can be really helpful. Though, as you note, some will prefer the quick list. And that's ok. For them. ;) Scott: Thanks for stopping, buddy. The #FF's that have a description are always the best and were the seed for breaking #FF out of Twitter. In this case, with Karthik S, his blog is super valuable to me, probably much more than his Twitter. So finding the right content from the right author just takes more than 140chars. Plus since I have several different audiences (real estate people like April, tech/dev/webhead people like yourself, augmented reality people, general #BTVers and so on) I figured it'd be worth letting everyone know really why I think they should cross-polinate and follow someone new. Or something. Thanks for stopping by both of you! g April: Glad this helps. I think for the new Twitter user this format can be really helpful. Though, as you note, some will prefer the quick list.

When I post for follow friday I tend to include one name and a brief description of why, but there's always more to the story. Awesome idea, G.

As a relatively new twitter user (new in any meaningful sense), I was having a hard time with #ff. I like to know a bit about a person before I care about his 140 or less - not the other way around. I am sure some folks prefer it the other way, but for folks like me, this is the meaningful, yet succinct information I am looking for. @beastoftraal has a new follower. I think this a phenom idea.
