If you don't already know, 'FollowFriday' is concept inspired by Twitter . The point of FollowFriday is to pick people you are following on Twitter that you feel your friends should know about. Just tweet #FollowFriday and include the person's Twitter name and a short description of what makes them great!

For example:

#FollowFriday @istopover @istopoveroffice -- Great tips on renting out your excess space.  

Each week we will pick one Twitter account that we feel has caught our attention and informed us about something cool within the travel Industry, and if you like what they have to say, then go right ahead and follow them!

This week's pick is
