Every Friday something happens in the Twitter world that focuses everybody's attention. Following an idea by Micah Baldwin, it is a way to show that you are proud of your friends and encourage others to follow them.
You don't need to state the reason, you simply need to tweet (put in a short message) their Twitter user names with an ampersand before them and then add the special keyword #followfriday. Note that in Twitter you indicate a keyword (a special subject) by putting the symbol # just before it. It is named an "hash tag" and indicates a subject on which other people also can discuss so that one can view all the messages about that subject gathered together.
So every Friday Twitter is swamped with messages of people recommending their friends or other Twitter users whose messages they found particularly interesting during the week It is a form of saying that you are proud of them and of being connected with them. For example, if you wanted to suggest me you would write a message like "Cool people #followfriday @fratel".
The sum of all suggestions is collected by a special site. http://www.topfollowfriday.com that shows you the highest recommended people of the week and how many people have specifically suggested you. Its is also a good way of returning the favor by suggesting that your followers follow those who have sponsored you. This is not a rule of course, it is up to you to decide what.
Twitter is ultimately for the people, and for their friends and its a very good way to find new ones.
