Wow! Twitter: 50 great travel tweeters


I decided to Google "weirdest twitter sites" and got a lot of hits. Since I enjoy traveling around the world, I selected "Twitter: 50 great travel tweeters"  ("http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/4698852/Twitter-50-great-travel-tweeters.htm).  The article appears to be posted a few years ago in the Telegraph Newspaper in London.  You can find the newspaper today online at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ .
