DMO Ranking on Twitter – May 09

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

While the buzz about Twitter is not seeming to slow down I think all of us that have been using Twitter for a while (personally or for an organization) have seen huge changes in how Twitter users are responding to more and more brands trying to use the tool. In a nutshell: things are not getting easier and many Twitter users are starting to get annoyed by all the marketing messages that are starting to take over and pushing conversations of “real people” in the background.

Our list of US/CA tourism organizations that have a presence on Twitter has grown to over 300. More than 70 destination accounts have over 1,000 followers. Here are the details (and as usual we used Twitter Grader on the last day of the month -in this case May 31st – for the ranking):

Since the end of May we found several new destinations using Twitter but as usual we rely on your feedback to complete our list.

We would also love to hear if anybody else is seeing Twitter and reactions from Twitter users change. If so, how?
