But I still felt terribly rude and guilty if I didn't reciprocate. <br /><br />Relieved to know that there is no need. :-)genebrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268359924733017009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-90674991016667803672011-03-09T22:25:24.220+11:002011-03-09T22:25:24.220+11:00As above.

I'd been feeling guilty about not returning the #FFs for ages, but then when I followed someone's link to an automated thing that found all my re-tweeters I used it and thought 'what am I doing????'. Never again! So when I saw that post I thought it was worth putting it out there.Carole Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945297805040161267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-68315591026512124132011-03-08T11:42:50.315+11:002011-03-08T11:42:50.315+11:00To give credit where it is due...

As someone said to me, it will take me years to get round everyone!

Whilst it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you see your own twitter name (rarely for me I might add!), it did clog up Friday's tweeting.

That said though, I will certainly be using the 'less is more' option from now on. Useful lesson learned.

Like everyone I only have a limited amount of time, so I only follow people who add something worthwhile to my day - if you want to know who those people are, anyone can click on my Following list and see for themselves!<br /><br />Alex aka @wychwoodnz and @oneplacestudiesAlex Coleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504765135990427355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-62242056041067650482011-03-07T12:40:20.999+11:002011-03-07T12:40:20.999+11:00Thank goodness you wrote about this!

I've been thinking the same thing, especially when it came to bot type programs to help people do the #FF!<br /><br />The way it was going with me was I'd see mentions of myself in #FF, then I'd feel guilty I hadn't reciprocated and would fire off a few. Then I'd think this is ridiculous - why am I doing this?<br />I should have clued in there were others feeling the same way.<br /><br />What I have started doing instead is promoting folks that are giving talks or have books or great blog post contributions for the better of genealogy. I think that is more valuable than #FF. And I can do that ANY day of the week :)<br /><br />Thanks again for bringing it up!Joan Miller (Luxegen)http://www.luxegen.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-46511075522849594882011-03-07T10:23:42.706+11:002011-03-07T10:23:42.706+11:00Judy, Good to know I am not Robinson Crusoe!Judy, Good to know I am not Robinson Crusoe!GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-13143319415848850992011-03-07T10:02:33.386+11:002011-03-07T10:02:33.386+11:00Good to know that I have some support!
