One of the things you could try (and not sure if you did already) is an introductory post explaining why you’re taking it away from Twitter. Explain why you see more value in personalized recommendations and information about that person as opposed to normal #followfiday lists. I found that helped me and didn’t leave people thinking it wasn’t worth checking out?

Hi Danny,

Good to know. I think the issue was a lot of people didn’t like leaving Twitter to see the recommendations, and I’ve found that to be the case with a lot of things.

But I think after reading your post here I will give it another whirl.

Hey there Brandon,

It’s actually been pretty well received. I’ve had people mentioning to me on Twitter and email that they prefer the more personal format, and comments on the posts themselves seem to bear this out.

There have also been some really nice blog posts referencing the new format. So, for the most part, it’s gone over pretty well.

When you say yours didn’t work out too well, do you think there’s a particular reason for this? Is it the format – have you had any feedback why it’s not preferred? Sometimes change can be harder to sell to people who are used to things a certain way – it could be that as well?
