Top 10 Follow Friday Favorites and Top Influencers Week 34

Posted by in Twitter


Top 10 #FollowFriday Favorites

The Follow Friday post is back… Finally!  Did you miss me? haha probably not, but I’m sure you miss the opportunity to connect with the 10 great people I share each week.

So I decided to add to the list and also include My Top Influencers each week to give you a few more people you should have in your Twitter community. follow friday

To compile my Top Influencers I will be using the Commun.it service. If you missed that review see it here.

Big News

Now you know about the new Follow Friday post layout, I want to share something important to me and ask for your support in getting the word out.

Yesterday my interview on the National Kidney Foundation’s website went live… you can read it here or click the image – Kidney Disease Doesn’t Stop Self Made Business Man

kidney foundation interview

Don’t let the ridiculously large image of my face scare you off lol  If you get past that you will read my personal story, the good and the bad.

Now, I never ask my followers to “share something” of mine, but today I am asking you to help spread that post out to all your followers on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and anywhere else you can think of.

My friend @annelizhannan said it best…

Sharing the story isn’t about sharing me, it is about sharing my story with the people that are going thru it now. People that are going thru it even worse then me. letting them know that regardless of their situation right now they can move thru it and do anything they want.

Letting them know that if I could work thru it.. an average to bad high school student, an architecture and community college drop out, a stubborn hard headed guy can do well, then so can anyone in the same situation.

Today I am asking you Read The Story and then Share The Story!

To make it easier to share, use the tweet below:

    I have to say that most of these must follow twitter accounts are
    just far too busy. I feel that with all the follow tweets on top of
    everything else it would clog my feed up too much. As soon as
    someone starts tweeting #followfriday etc with other gunk they get
    un-followed.Sometimes less is better, or am I on my own with this
    one?

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Your on your own

    John, I just read your story and I am so moved. It made me cry. You
    know how I am…just a walking tear duct waiting to happen. I am so
    happy that you didn’t let it beat you and eventually got a new
    kidney! You are amazing and an inspiration! When I first started
    reading your post, you wrote, “Don’t let the ridiculously large
    image of my face scare you off.” I have to admit, I laughed out
    loud. I was going to make a joke about running a contest to guess,
    “Why is John holding his head?”   :o )~ Thank you so much
    for including me on your list. I feel honored to have met you on
    Twitter. You’re interesting, funny and quite savvy!  I’ll be
    tweeting the heck out your suggested tweet.  ;o) mwah*

    I appreciate you including me on your list of #FF favorites and
    influencers but I am truly moved that you captioned me with ‘my
    friend’.  Influence may be waning or fleeting and favorites
    can come and go.  A friend is a commitment of trust and
    support. You had my support when I read your personal story of
    fortitude in the face of grave illness and earned my trust when you
    demonstrated your dedication to helping others in like
    circumstances. I am therefore humbled and honored to have you
    reciprocate when I merely reiterated facts and shared them.Your
    friend, Anneliz

    Thank you so much John, truly honored to be listed. I really
    appreciate your effort to compile this. Also, not forgetting to say
    I’m inspired by your story, you’re a fighter! Very brave. God bless
    always~

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    haha yea not sure why they used such a large pic lol I laughed out
    loud, so it’s ok that u did. A contest would be hilarious tho :)
    and thank u for the support and possitive words.. It was a mess to
    go thru but I think me and my business are better for it in the
    end. I added you to the list because you are a great Twitter friend
    and sharer and happy to have met and connected with you… Sharing
    the suggested link would be awesome, since it’s not about me but
    using my story to help people that may going thru something
    similar. That’s the goal anyway. TY :)

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    You’re welcome Ching, well deserved to be on the list, your using
    Twitter perfectly, and I’m happy to be connected with you :) I’m
    glad you enjoyed my story and for the support :)

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    I called you a friend because every time I look you are there
    sharing openly or taking the time to leave positive comments, and
    now with the support of my story and the fact that you “get it”
    that it is not about me, but using my story to build awareness is
    just GREAT! That is why you are a Friend now, not just a follower,
    or favorite. TY Anneliz :)

     I did come up with a few reasons why you are holding your
    head. The Top 5 Reasons John Is Holding His Head In His Avatar 5.
    You’ve got a headache from eating ice cream too fast. 4. You’re
    saying, “Ay, caramba!” because you smashed your finger. 3. You just
    remembered that you forgot to write a post. 2. Another spammer DM’d
    you on Twitter. And the TOP reason that I think John is holding his
    head in his avatar is… 1.  You just smashed a mosquito on
    your head. LOL

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    lmaoo ..That’s hilarious. ALL good reasons to hold your head,, but
    since I used to be a Simpsons fan I have to say #4 is my fav You’re
    saying, “Ay, caramba!” because you smashed your finger.
