The #FollowFriday Series highlights today’s up-and-coming, active and all-around noteworthy Twitter accounts the AudioAcrobat staff deems worthy of following; while at the same time peering deeper into the soul(-cial media) of each account and providing a brief-yet-informative analysis.
After making over five hundred #FollowFriday recommendations on Twitter throughout the first twenty four weeks of 2011, the AudioAcrobat team is showing no sign of preventing the marriage of our weekly #FF tweets to this nifty WordPress.com weblog.
Last week’s feature focused on a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee every June – Bonnaroo – and was so well received by our readers that we are finding ourselves physically unable to throttle down this roaring WordPress-powered engine which pumps our weekly stream of fun and factual tweets directly to our readers’ (iPad, iPhone, Android, MacBook Pro, iMac, DELL, etc.) screens.
…Now to connect with a ‘socially savvy’ media web browser developed by Tim Howes and Eric Vishria!
In today’s posting, we will not only share this week’s featured #FollowFriday account, @rockmelt, but will also take our readers in for a closer look at twenty five of the one hundred thirty two accounts @rockmelt is currently following … a mirror, if you will, into the soul(-cial media) of a (free) internet browser that ‘focuses on Google Search and Social Media, in particular Facebook and Twitter.’
Yep. That’s right, we just said it … “soulcial media”. We also said “a (free) internet browser that ‘focuses on Google Search and Social Media, in particular Facebook and Twitter’” in the same sentence. Pretty spiffy, huh?
