Dog Lovers Love #FF on Facebook and Twitter, but What Does it Mean?

Every Friday I see it all over the social media sites. I've never asked. Sometimes it's obvious; sometimes not so much. I'm talking about the acronym or hashtag FF.

I've searched and searched for an official meaning of #FF. I've come down to one conclusion: Bloggers and other social media users love it and use it for whatever acronym works for them. Here's a few I've found that you may find relevant:

Follow Friday (as in Twitter)
Facebook Friday (duh)
Friend Friday (I guess this works for both)
FIDO Friendly
Friend feed (on Facebook)
Furry Friday (pet bloggers?)
Friends Forever (as in BFF)
French Fries
Firefox
Fat Free
Frequent Flyer
Full Figured

Let's collect some data here. Leave a comment with other meanings for the acronym FF that are family-friendly (no pun intended) and might be useful to our readership. Then answer 1 question: Do you use Twitter and/or Facebook for social networking? If so, which or both?

Don't use either? Check my pages out here, just for the fun of it: Facebook and Twitter. Comments? I'd love your input. What were you expecting to find? What would you like to find? Hit that comment button at the bottom of the post and spill!

Now, let's move on to today's drawing winners:

No! You're not seeing double. Well, maybe you are, but there really are 2 mugs up there! Today we're giving away these two adorable dog-lovers' coffee mugs from one of our favorite sponsors, MANKINDdog™. They have a ton of cool dog and dog owner gifts, and they also have Phil and Gotham greeting you as you arrive on their site. It's definitely worth a visit, just to get a glimpse of these two fine specimens (tongue in cheek). Haven't seen them? Be sure to visit after you read this prize giveaway post.

Last week's Magical Mystery Mutt Tour and Blog Hop offered a fun guessing game for many visitors, trying to determine the genetic makeup of many of my blogging buddies' mixed breeds. It made for a fun-filled afternoon of guessing, for sure, and there were many interesting Heinz 57s to ponder. With 18 comments on my one post, this clearly was a big hit with you, my readers.

As a little added bonus, I offered to give away something that signifies the meaning of "Mans' Best Friends" to me--the 2 mugs from MANKINDdog™. The winners are:

Patti S.

Lillij (no last name!)

Dust off a spot on your desk, ladies, right after you drop me an email with your address to LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com. This will be the perfect office coffee mug--it affectionately identifies your love of dogs. Watch for some other surprise freebies in your package as well, something I do just for fun. Enjoy!
