It looks like the honeymoon is well and truly over. There's been quite a few blogs lately talking about the Follow Friday backlash - finding better ways to do it, how to avoid the spam, and so on. Thery're all a lot better written than I can manage, so please, check those people out. They are all superb people to follow, as well, and they make up my first category this week.
Yes, that's my new thing this week. I've grouped people based on why you should follow them! What an idea. It's not just a list anymore; I'm including reasons why. Categories totally ad-hoc, I'm afraid, and it's seriously cut down the numbers this week as well. Besides, I had to do something to rearrange the order of people a bit. ;) And, before one of you wags says anything, just because you're in one category doesn't exclude you from another!
Same thoughts this week as ever. If you think you ought to be on this list, interact with me before next week! And, since I keep promising to push it, Talk To Someone New as a cure for your #followfriday hangover. Just @ them, stick #ttsn in your message, and start up a conversation. The tag will tell everyone in Twitter space that you think these are worthwhile people to talk to, and maybe they should do so too. Just another alternative to the Follow Friday madness.

Music
Share some of my more obscure musical tastes with these people. Music is important. It's probably my third favorite thing.

Loosen up!
Well, there's not much else to say here. The fact they are all female is purely, utterly, coincidental.
