We have so much in common, while so many of us work away on laptops in dimly lit makeshift offices or public wifi areas during travel. It would be a treat to actually commune with the people I spend much of my time with as virtual "office" friends, with out industry chat.

These insights collected from active gurus combined with yesterday's collection of insights from travel industry players has filled a void in the twittersphere.<br /><br />Roseanne @TravelSocialAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862488816926023914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277790246054779139.post-58569306817835448632009-05-20T19:00:44.516-04:002009-05-20T19:00:44.516-04:00Thanks for compiling these great lists, Susan!

That's one of the things I love about Twitter - it's such a wonderful tool for finding people and information I would never have known about otherwise. I use it to keep up with news in the fields I write about (travel, environment, international development), to share articles and useful information, and to connect with and learn from interesting people.<br />@annikahippleAnnika Hipplehttp://www.annikahipple.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277790246054779139.post-62150016932202754062009-05-20T18:38:46.716-04:002009-05-20T18:38:46.716-04:00Yet another great Travel Industry Twitter list.

Thanks for including me.<br /><br />In addition to having a ton of utilitarian value, Twitter is like a massive, distributed, virtual 24-hour cocktail party. I'd love to have a meetup with the 30 people on this list sometime, that would be a ton of fun!

Great to hear the perspectives of others. <br />CityListen uses Twitter as a promotional tool - but more often we use it much like others on your list: to establish a connection and dialogue with like-minded folks in the travel space; share ideas; pick-up on trends; and, on occasion, to find links that are nothing more than a brief entertaining diversion.Jonathan @ CityListenhttp://www.citylisten.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277790246054779139.post-91592287810599887712009-05-20T14:57:46.371-04:002009-05-20T14:57:46.371-04:00Great post, Susan.

We think Twitter challenges organizations to look at how much value they put on relationships. As @tripwolf says, Twitter is a very personal medium and this makes it hard for marketers to fake an interest in relationships with people, especially over the long term. We're still getting our feet wet on measurements, not wanting to put emphasis on metrics over people in a desire to keep it real and demonstrate our genuine interest in the conversations we have with people. We look forward to reading your insights on these challenges.<br /><A HREF="http://twitter.com/AuthenticCoast" REL="nofollow">@AuthenticCoast</A>Authentic Seacoast Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934383906959061747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277790246054779139.post-49395883556792853342009-05-20T13:07:40.856-04:002009-05-20T13:07:40.856-04:00Thanks!
