Friday has also become a popular day on Twitter as well, as a way to do a little networking and met some new tweeps. I thought I’d taken a moment and add a few of my favorite tweeps each week along with the Aloha Friday photo here at the blog.

Since this will be my first Follow Friday post, why not start off with my favorite Maui tweeps that I got to meet up with in real life (IRL) last February.

Tune in for another Aloha Friday photo and Follow Friday tweeps next week, too.

Mahalo.
