Last week we had a great response to our first ever ‘Top 30 UK Hotels on Twitter’ list. This week we’ve made a bit of a change to how this list is ranked. In the interest of fairness we’ve decided to rank the list in the same way we rank our Irish twitter list and use twitter.grader.com to measure the importance of each twitter account.

We’ve used twitter.grader.com to rank each hotel on twitter. This clever little app considers many different factors including number of followers, number of followings and number of posts (among many others). This creates a score, enabling each twitter account to be ranked out of all the accounts that have been graded in the twitter network.

It basically gives you an idea of the impact each tweet has.

The grade is out of 100 and represents the percentage of accounts that have less of an impact than yours. For example, a TwitterGrade of 95 means tweets from your account have more of an impact than tweets from 95% of all other graded accounts on twitter. Pretty impressive hey?!

As with all our lists, we’ve done our best to recognise every contender for the list but a few are bound to have slipped through the net. If you think your hotel should be included on the list, please let us know by commenting below, remembering to include your “@” twitter account name.

The list is open to all hotels in the UK.

The Chesterfield Hotel in Mayfair, London have further extended their exceptional lead by growing their amount of followers by 1,800 in just over a week.

    Thanks for this list. Would be interested in seeing something similar for the UK self-catering industry.
