I’ve praised the Power of Twitter many times over now. And it was a twitter conversation after my 4/17/09 Free Shirt Friday post that led to today’s featured Free Shirt…

@kimarketing Does this shirt make my butt look big? http://twurl.nl/dgpm0d It’s Free Shirt Friday! Gotta love pre-publish, I’m actually still in my pj’s.

@mookie94 @kimarketing can you please send me a shirt that MAKES my butt look big? i’m a member of the NBA — No-Butts Of America!

@kimarketing @mookie94 Wonder if Lipo could be transferred? I’ll share. But I need a http://www.94rock.fm tshirt first!

@mookie94 @kimarketing that’s one of the few things i actually have the power to make happen! also, i can play the willam tell overture on my face.

Ok, so it only took 6 weeks for me to actually get the shirt from 94 Rock’s Morning Host, Mookie, but like many things, it was worth the wait. And I didn’t even have to sleep with him. 

Anyhoo, I usually don’t participate in the whole #followfriday hashtag scheme of things, and I usually ignore tweets that just list names with no reasons as to why I should follow them.  Example…

@kimarketing #followfriday @shoppingkim @shoeholics @stealthestyle @freebiefox @cybersweeps @preemietwins @huskersetc

Had the above been a real tweet, I do recommend following all of the above twitter users because they are all mine! And they are set up to auto-follow courtesty of TweetLater.com (and auto-unfollow, so you can’t just follow and unfollow to increase your count without reciprocating). I do recommend creating a twitter id for each website you have.  If you don’t have time to maintain multiple accounts, set them up on auto-pilot with TwitterFeed.com to tweets your RSS feeds.  Can you say free traffic?

So today is Friday and I anticipate seeing several #followfriday recommendations. I prefer the tweets that are genuine and tell me why I should follow someone.  Like this…

@kimarketing #followfriday I recommend following @mookie94 because he’s crazy like me and his tweets make me laugh milk out of my nose.

The milk is in reference to yet another tweet.  And that recommendation is sincere - Mookie didn’t pay me (much anyway) to write that.

So thanks 94 Rock for the tee! 94Rock.fm is a local radio station for me in Northeast Nebraska (94.7), but you can listen live via the internet from anywhere! Now what do I have to do to score some free tickets to the Heart/Eddie Money and Big & Rich/Zac Brown Band Concerts coming up…
