The first annual Unofficial Top 50 Tweeples to FOLLOW contest officially launched on Friday, Sept. 26 on the popular social networking site, Twitter (www.twitter.com). Hosted by Twitter user Sarah Evans (@PRsarahevans) the contest allows Twitter users to nominate those they deem as the best contributors for others to follow.
"There's an incredible amount of information out there. I want to know where interesting and informative people tweet." said Evans
The contest offers a voice to actual network users to nominate who they get the best information from and, when the results are announced, will encourage others to follow those people, too.
The nomation process takes less than five minutes and requires only the Twitter name (@name) of the person(s) nominated and the appropriate category. Users can be nominated in categories ranging from Web 2.0 and Environment to News Media.
"Whether I'm looking to connect with an avid sports enthusiast or banter about political debates, the contest is sure to broaden not only my own, but everyone's Twitter network."
The Top 50 contest closes on Oct. 7 at 5 p.m. CST with results announced via Twitter Oct. 8 at 9 a.m. CST. Follow updates about contest by using search term "twittop50."
