Recently I wrote about why I was moving my #followfriday recommendations from Twitter to this blog. So, without further ado, here are my recommendations for this week.

Something a little different this week (and I realize it goes against my reasons for taking it to the blog – just listing names – but there’s a reason this week).

Everyone featured today fits into many different categories but one thing they all have in common is that they’re proud wearers of the 12for12k avatars. Designed by iGoByDoc, it’s a fun way of showing their support for a worthy cause outside of normal (and much appreciated) donations.

Apart from that, they’re all incredibly cool people doing amazing things offline as well (and I’ll be featuring them in much more depth in upcoming #FollowFiday posts, if I haven’t already).

So, what are you waiting for – check them out (each link opens in a new window so you don’t need to click back)! They are:

@_sarakate_; @DominickEvans; @judithsthoughts; @LibbyUnwin; @JamesAWoods; @allenmireles; @arikhanson; @bluestreak23; @HighEdSalesGuy; @iamkhayyam; @iGoByDoc; @JASunshine1011; @JGoldsborough; @JonAston; @KatieMDesigns; @KyleJudkins; @mickeygomez; @MSchechter; @nataliekeiko; @PromoMarketer; @rachelakay; @raekaye; @shannoncherry; @SocialPMChick; @iggypintado; @StaciJShelton; @suzemuse; @thebassman; @ZenMommy; @Rich_at_Dell; @mjleonard; @websuccessdiva; @12for12k; @MarketingProfs; @abarcelos; @AnneHyde; @nsbmom; @freelancerant; @AvenueZ; @_djh; @briancarter; @tmaduri; @concierge; @GinaLaGuardia; @jamiecalder; @johnhaydon; @liajen; @nakeva; @ramartijr; @SarahRobinson; @southplatte; @CherylFehlberg; @storyassistant.

If, by chance, I’ve missed anyone out, please let me know and I’ll sort that immediately!

Thanks for being who you are guys – your support means everything, as does everyone behind the 12for12k idea.

Normal #FollowFriday recommendations will resume next week. Have a great weekend!
