Perhaps you are right, but for those of us just starting out its not a prehistoric tool. I gain more and more of my target followers on friday then any other day that still holds true for the little guy Id say.

I couldn't keep up with all the eco-monday/friday follow stuff myself. Was taking time away from actually, you know, real work…

I do use Follow Fridays as a means to find other people, but I prefer when people list them, or concentrate on giving specific reasons that they follow people.
It's nicer, I think, to get one detailed follow friday in which someone explains WHY they like you, attributes that keep them coming back, etc.
Admittedly, however, I don't always have time to do that.
I think it's a nice thing, and it can help people get followers with similar interests.

Honestly for me, I don't care about follow Friday. I LOVE IT when someone tells someone else to follow me. I acknowledge that they took time to think about me. BUT i don't personally do it. And unless someone I'm close to says “hey, follow this person. she's new to twitter and yadda yadda” then I usually don't even go along with the people I'm told to follow. I probably sound like a huge bitch too, now. HAH. I just don't like my stream cluttered. If I'm following someone, it's because something they said interested me or i thought they were cool. Not because someone told me to follow them, you know?

I do it purely to hype up other dads in the hope that they'll do the same to me. Whether anyone else actually notices is a whole different kettle of fish! I'm @benspex, by the way (shameless plug).

I pickup a ton of new dad twitters/bloggers because of tweets that include me and them in the reply but not directly relating to #FF

Fatherhood Friday is the only FF i am in at this time, but I seam to not get any mentions there. even with that, and the lack of advertising i do some how I end up with 183 followers. still can't figure that one out.
