Bored with #FollowFridays on Twitter? Blinded by tweet-streams filled with @names and no idea why you care? Looking to have a little fun at the end of the week? I’ve got your answer.
Each week, I’ll give out 12 awards. Why 12? 12 in a dozen. 12 months. 12 apostles. 12 toes (oh, that’s just me?). If you don’t see your name here, don’t go claw the furniture or spray the front door. Your turn may be coming.
MVP Award
We could write an entire blog about why we admire this person. Heads up her own dynamo PR firm. Adored by many. Turns followers into friends. A genuine, caring soul. Smart, shares great content, and infinitely engaging. Did we mention the best laugh we’ve ever heard on twitter? The true queen of the Twitterverse, and a very benevolent ruler.

The Real Deal Award
Forget that a gazillion people worship at his feet. He didn’t ask for that. What he knows, he giadly gives away. A regular guy with a heart of gold and a mind that never quits or takes naps. @chrisbrogan
Highly Infectious Award
Upbeat without being rah-rah. Human. Sincere. Helpful. And great at introducing and connecting wonderful people. If there was a cure for her, I would advise against it. @StaciJShelton
Smartypants Award
Always interesting. Shares good stuff. Mixes it up with all kinds of people. Asks questions that draw you in. And is not afraid to be real or show heart. @smashadv.
Most Rabid Sportsfan Award
It was a tough contest and lots of fun watching them duke it out. But then @jeffmello talked about music, leaving this guy to cover the bases. Hands down, the winner is: @julito77
Business Tweet of the Week
He just got on Twitter, and this is why he's one to watch. @SethBrewer
Stealth Tweeter Award
So quiet, and then out of nowhere… BAM! Glad she didn’t stay incognito for long. @danamoos
Sophie's Choice Award
What can I say? It's my first week, and already I can't choose between these two. If you knew them, you'd understand. Fun, kind, interested in others, totally engaging. @justinthesouth AND @scott_farrell
Little Miss Sunshine Award
It’s early. First cup of tea. Caffeine has not kicked in. But she is there, and suddenly, you feel all better and can’t help smiling when you see her avatar. And she’ll always say hello. The value of this should never be underestimated. @jmbuckingham
Good Neighbor Award
The person on twitter that I wish lived next door. Always cheerful, always makes you feel important, and a great personality: @Blairsden
America’s Most Wanted Award
The biggest troublemaker, wanted for flagrantly flaunting all caps and creating massive mayhem. Also has deep moments. And a delightful smile. @ponet
Okay, that’s all folks. Be sure to congratulate the winners.
Maybe next week, it won’t be 12 awards! We’ll see. Want to get in on the fun? Get on twitter and say hi.

I'd like to thank the Academy, my dear friends and darling wife, and all my fans for allowing me to be here and enjoy this special moment with you. I'm humbled by this award and hope I don't bump my head on the way out. The ceiling is kinda low.
This is a good start. I hope to watch this blossom into a wonderful stomping ground for beautiful souls... I'll be checking in!
Peace and Love,
Mike
I'm honored to be the first recipient of the Little Miss Sunshine Award, thank you Kat! It makes me feel like my silly little drivel somehow is meaningful...lol.
You are the person that really shines so I'm bestowing on you the Diamond Award <>
love this!
If I ever win an award I hope it will be a Katnip....
This is a great post and I'm not just saying that because I got a mention... but now the pressures on -- what if I'm a one-hit wonder?
Well done - hoping follow friday madness hit bottom and is now trending upwards as people find more creative ways to recommend followers. Just like this.
I'd like to thank my mom who always said I could be anything I wanted to be...I guess the check she sent you arrived?
Kat, this is seriously one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me! Thank you!! I can't believe the company I'm keeping on this list. With the exception of @julito77, of course.
Oh, just to be nominated would be a thrill! @kundaliniyoga
Kat,
VERY CREATIVE and witty! Took a peek at your "day job" and see you are living your mission, "It's not about me, it's all about you!" In my book, you are a truly CONSCIOUS LEADER! OK, Kat' blog readers, let's nominate Kat for "Giving Goddess" or "Right Writer" Kat, you rock!
Karen
p.s. or should your receive the "Purrfect" You make us smile. Kinda' like the feeling cats get when they are purring. Meow!
The A-cat-emy and I are very pleased with the response to the first Katnip Awards. Thank you all. More to come. Stay tuned.
And feel free to submit your nominations. The Kategories can change week-to-week... because (sssshhhh, trade secret)... it's all made up.
