    Thanks, once again, for keeping this going.

    I am struggling to think of any one particular Twitterer from the list who is doing it really well.

    What do think?

    Good point – it’s the travel bloggers / media companies that are really engaged with this. Next stop – will apply Twitter Grader ranking so we see who best are (if Grader is best app for that?)

    I’m guessing that managing this list will soon get out of hand as everyone starts using Twitter, but I’ll add my tuppence.
    We’ve only just launched Tourdust, but we’re also on twitter twitter.com/bencolclough – (unfortunately somebody else managed to cheekily grab twitter.com/tourdust !)

    @29travels is using twitter. Its a way to map your travels and post on your blog or website. Ever since I have started actively tweeting, website traffic has doubled. Its effective and fun too. Much more than digg, facebook or other social websites.

    Hi Matt – a quick list update for you regarding our web addrees:
    SNO Ski Holidays still has “mobile ski holidays” at http://www.sno.mobi but the main desktop website is http://www.sno.co.uk and, just to make it more complicated, because we’re soon branching out into Cruise, Lakes and Mountains the homepage for SNO Ski Holidays is http://www.sno.co.uk/ski-holidays/
    If you want to update your enormouse list, that last one is the correct URL for SNO Ski Holidays.

    Cheers
