For those unfamiliar with the Follow the Money Friday concept, the idea is to seek out & support the creative people you follow on the tweetybox/ tumblr/ wobblr/ flpr/rrrr whatever.
Buy a CD or DVD if you have some money to spare. Don’t have a lot? Spend .99c on a song or a joke!
Broke? As assholes always say, time is money, so take a few precious moments out of your day and and let the world know what you love one person/ project/ feed/ blog/ mp3/comedy show at a time. Listen to a free podcast or watch a webseries. Leave a thoughtful and supportive review! Make an insightful comment on an article someone you follow has written. Send a link to a pal. Tell your favorite tweeter why they are great. You don’t need to spend A DIME…
…but you should, if you can.

@Dan_Bialek http://danbialek.com/danbialek/Home.html This Will Not End WellThe internet gives us unprecedented access to things that entertain us, make us laugh, make us think. So many of these things are done on the small scale and can thrive given a little help. Make the choice to put your money where your tweets is.
