Routesonline Launches #AvGeek100

Manchester, England (ots/PRNewswire) -

Twitter campaign announced to find the most influential aviation
industry tweeters

Routesonline (http://www.routesonline.com) has announced the
launch of the #AvGeek100 - a twitter campaign to find the most
influential tweeters within the Aviation community.

The aim of #AvGeek100 is to find out we should follow; who cuts
through the industry spin and delivers real and usable information
and who out there is providing maximum value for their 140
characters?

Site Editor, Richard Maslen explains: "The Aviation industry
continues to be one of the most talked about sectors of global
business and social media is playing a huge role in sharing insight,
ideas, news and general information. To acknowledge this fact, we are
launching the #AvGeek100 twitter campaign to find the most
influential, whimsical, and useful tweeters on everything related to
the industry - and we need your suggestions! Whether you are
interested in seeing the latest photographs, in-flight innovations,
network and fleet changes, industry analysis or business trends, we
want you tell us who you take notice of on Twitter!"

Paul McCann, Head of Digital Content for Routesonline added:
"We've had an incredible response. After just one day of nominations
we've reached over 340,000 twitter users in the aviation community.
Everyone at Routesonline is delighted to be leading such a fantastic
campaign and to be discovering the people who are leading the way in
social media for our industry."

The #AvGeek100 will initially measure Twitter influence using a
live PeerIndex table found on Routesonline (http://goo.gl/8m3P8N). An
editorial panel will then vote for the essential 25 AvGeek tweeters
that practitioners cannot afford not to follow.

Nominations can be submitted until Friday 23rd August, when voting
will close, by using the tweet:
