As many of you will know I have a Twitter hall of Shame where I highlight Twitter accounts that in my opinion are poorly run, managed or have simply been abandoned. To balance things out, I also have a Twitter hall of fame where I highlight those Twitter accounts that in my opinion are fab. So here is one of those accounts. Enter BBC Travel Alert aka http://twitter.com/bbctravelalert

So what makes this account so fab? Firstly, they have listed the names of the people that are doing the tweeting. With Twitter accounts like this, it could just be an endless stream of traffic and travel updates. However they make sure that they engage with people asking questions and they make the traffic and travel tweets more interesting by adding their own style of tweets.  All this makes what could be a very boring Twitter account far more interesting and certainly worth following. So well done to Billy, Jules, Fiona, Pippa and Steve.
