Thanks for mentioning us. At Boston Logan International Airport (@BostonLogan) we've been building a following since April and communicating information that we think passengers will find interesting, useful, etc. through social media. We monitor twitter and our facebook page regularly and have been reaching out to customers as much as possible. We didn't receive your twitter survey and would have liked the opportunity to respond (and would still like to let you know what we're doing and get your feedback). Thanks for including @BostonLogan in your post! Excellent points about how twitter allows airports to speak directly to customers! Thanks for mentioning us.

Finding the airport in searches is difficult, and searching for airports is already challenging enough, as many do not have user names or profiles that make them conducive to Twitter searches. Using your name, rather than that of the airport, makes it more challenging for your passengers to find your presence online. If CHO is looking to move forward with using social media as a way to expand the airports profile and build an interactive customer initiative drop me an e-mail. Happy Flying! -Fish Barbara,

You're right, they have totally failed on Twitter. I expected something more useful from my home airport. I’m one of those people following MCO. You’re right, they have totally failed on Twitter.
