You know the ones, they contain usually no information other than a bunch of Twitter names followed by the #followfriday hashtag.

    I have a feeling that the countdown to backlash against this meme is already on, so get your witty line out there before you’re ridiculed for it. I, for one, like this meme just because it beats the boring Follow Friday one, and reminds me of Conan O’Brien’s old Pimpbot 5000 routine.
