Adam is not comparing *himself* to a toilet. He’s saying the waters of #FollowFriday are fouled by those who merely dump names into a tweet lacking any other context.

I've seen hundreds, probably thousands of users recommended for followfriday, and have followed maybe two as a result. Like you say - too much noise, very little signal. More often than not, the only profiles I'll even check out are those that are a single name in a #followfriday followed by a reason to follow, unless I've met the person doing the recommending face-to-face.

You mean to tell me you are that lazy to go about and make a list of people you feel would be great to follow? Or do you not have a single genuine though in your head that you have to go around RTing everyone elses recommendations.... can you NOT think for YOURSELF? (i kind of think that's whats starting to happen with the entire RT thing, nobody uses their own thoughts anymore, they use someone elses!) while i feel #followfriday is great for your occasional EGO BOOST, whats up with everyone that RT’s someone elses following recommendations?
