The 50 Most Powerful Travel Twitterers
Twitter is a great tool for planning a trip, whether you are trying to find a great deal or if you want ideas for fun stuff to do in a particular city. To make the process easier we've listed the top 50 Power Travel Twitter users for you to follow - or at least to consider following!
How did we come up with the ranking? We've come up with an algorithm that we think does a good job of approximating the relative power a twitter account wields. The most important signal is related to the number of followers an account has, but we also look at retweets, lists, and more. It's actually kind of interesting.
Anyway, here's the list. If you want your Twitter account to be on any future lists, send us an email at twitterrank@neotravel.com, or follow our Twitter account at http://twitter.com/#!/neotravel. Join in the fun!
