Choose the Top 50 Tweeples to Follow

Tweet your nominations now through August 18

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2009 edition of The Top 50 Tweeples to Follow on Twitter.

First launched in September 2008, the concept was to develop a resource for new Twitter users, a “people’s choice” of Twitter.

The nomination process takes less than five minutes and requires only the Twitter username (@name) of the person(s) nominated and the appropriate expertise. Users can be nominated in areas of expertise ranging from Technology and Environment to New Media.

Nominations begin: Immediately
Time frame: Now through August 18 at 12 noon CST

HOW TO NOMINATE

There are two ways to nominate an individual:

1. TWEET the following: I nominate (i.e. @twitterID) as a #Top50Tweep in http://bit.ly/41Ezxs (You must submit in this format in order for your nomination to count.)

2. Leave a comment on the original post at PRsarahevans.com in this format: First Name, Last Name, @TwitterID, Expertise* Once you nominate someone, tweet the following: “I just nominated @theirtwitterID as a #Top50Tweep.” (This tweet does not count as a second nomination.)

The Top 50 Tweeples to Follow of 2009 will be announced later in August.

The Rules:

1. Nominate as many people, as many times as you’d like.
2. Nominations which don’t follow the submission guidelines (above) will not be counted.
3. Provide a separate entry for each person you would like to nominate. If you list someone in more than one expertise in a single nomination, that counts as ONE nomination.
4. You can nominate yourself (although that’s not the point).
