My Kick-ass #followfriday and Adirondack Twitter Post
July 31st, 2009 · 9 Comments · Miscellania
Today is Friday. All you Twitter folks know what that means, #followfriday. This post is LIVE DONE and a work-in-progress.
Before I get started, I want to do something a bit crazy – Introduce myself. I’m Doug Yu aka @tourpro. I’ve been whipping around the net using that handle for quite some time now, but have resisted revealing myself. Now that I’ve been using Twitter, I realize that it’s not fair for my new friends to not know the real me. Currently, I work for Adirondack Tourism and I also manage an I Love NY Welcome Center. Rather than try to explain too much, I’ll let hashtags do the talking. Here are some that I would use to describe myself:
#adirondacks, #marketing, #biking, #procycling, #travel, #plattsburgh, #lakechamplain, #salsacycles, #fatchance, #blogger, #socialmedia, #dad, #recreation, #hike, #ski, #tcot, #conservation, #newsjunkie, #paddle, #camp, #wordpress,
If you find someone here you like, please do feel free to copy/paste, edit, and recommend. I hope I can be comprehensive and I do apologize to anyone who I’ve overlooked. Maybe I got you last time?

Twitter Reciprocity and #followfriday
May 1st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Adirondack Life
Today is Friday. All you Twitter folks know what that means, #followfriday is the fashionable meme of the day. This post is LIVE DONE.
Don’t get me wrong, I super-appreciate every recommendation I get, but I haven’t felt like playing along with the Friday-thing. Why? There’s no meta to go with the recommendation. For me, it’s all about the Semantic Web. The data is there, what information can we assign to it? Same with users. I wish the ability to tag Twitter users was something I could do, instead of relying on self-tags.
Enough with the Twitter navel-gazing, I’ll save that for another time. Today is about you, my Twitter-people.
Doing the 46, During the 46-46-46
April 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Destination Marketing
So I get this Tweet today:
Elevate Your Rate w/the 46 Adirondacks High Peaks: Starting 2day we’ will match R rates 2 the elevations for 46 Days http://yttwt.com/32wqq
I’m thinking that someone could theoretically climb the 46 relevant daily peaks during this special. Not only that, you could easily also add 46 Pints and 46 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
So really, it should be “Doing the 46-46-46, During the 46-46-46.

Biking for a Good Cause
March 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Destination Marketing
Have you met Nathan Winters? Well I happened to run across him ….on Twitter. Kind of an interesting marketing case study. You see, I followed VermontTourism cuz they are across The Lake and we are Brothers-in-Arms.
This is my response to his biking route query:
“@tourpro Here is my basic route. If you can help that would be AWESOME! http://tinyurl.com/c75mzq“
First, you have to cross Lake Champlain.
Then, you have to Head West.
If you Cross Lake Champlain South of Burlington.
Essex NY to Lake Placid NY
Crown Point Bridge to Forestport NY

Adirondacks is all a’Twitter
March 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Destination Marketing
I’m going to blast through this post because it’s hard to think through something that is changing as I write.
A week ago I started Twittering. A fun learn. Check out this meta-search: tourpro – Google
Hey, a free #2 and #3 isn’t bad, unless you are “TourPro loading”. Some people would actually pay someone to achieve this result Sure, it’s just the Freshbot. But still. One week and look at the rankings for my handle. What is this thing? What can we do with it? How can we not ruin it?
