FollowFriday Helper: A faster, simpler way to do your weekly Twitter recommendations

Released: April 2010

FollowFriday Helper web app is a simple utility to help you do your weekly recommendations and thank the people you interact with the most. You can then write more personal #TY, #Gratitude, #FollowFriday (..etc) tweets using the user's info with just a few clicks.

The idea behind FFH

FFH gets your Twitter interactions from the past week: users who mentioned you, those who retweeted you, those you have retweeted, and even your Twitter favorites. It compiles a list of those users ordered by the number of interactions you had with each user, and with just a few clicks you can write personalized or multiple recommendation and #ThankYou tweets.

As Twitter users, we felt that a gap exists. Dealing with the pleasantries of playing #FollowFriday and thanking people takes too much out of the Twitter experience. To make our lives and that of others easier, while keeping interactions personal, we created FFH.

From a more serious perspective, it's a unique app that is built to be viral. We explain it more below...

What's unique about FollowFriday Helper?

When it comes to Twitter applications, there are loads of apps around. We wanted to create a unique application that fills a need. The need to be effectively interactive on Twitter in as little time as you have available through a dead simple interface. No other applications online offer that in the way FFH does. Check it out for yourself.

Another note-worthy reason behind building FollowFriday Helper was that it's an app that advertises itself by itself. FFH's main feature is to allow people to write and send custom tweets. By appending “via @ffhelper” at the end of each tweet – we witnessed the power of Twitter!

This simple non intrusive quote, at the end of each tweet, got us to the top recommended users on Twitter in just a few days after launching.
