Are You on Twitter Yet? (It's Where the Travel Tipsters Are)
"Don't roll your eyes like an old person," wrote New York Post travel editor David Landsel in yesterday's paper. "Twitter isn't just teenage girls and empty-headed, feelings-sharing celebs; it's also the latest-slash-greatest advance in how travel information gets dished out. It's interactive, you can connect quickly with reporters, with industry types, with the hotels you love to love and the airlines you love to hate."
I couldn't have put it better myself. And in his article "Follow me to travel know-how: 10 Twitter feeds that'll get you up to speed," David lists ten of the best travel tipsters to follow. Yours truly is there (phew!), as are several who are on my personal Twitter A-List as well: travel industry analyst Henry Harteveldt of Forrester Research; Carolyn Spencer Brown and her staff at Cruise Critic; flight attendant Heather Poole, who writes Gadling's Galley Gossip column; and airfare deals expert George Hobica of Airfare Watchdog.
