No prize for finishing second

In scenes reminiscent of Wembley 1974 when Newcastle United, against the odds, made it all of the way to the FA Cup final only to be cruelly knocked into beaten into second place by the all-conquering favourites Liverpool, today the announcement of the CIOB #BIMTwitter50 list of most influential twitter-BIM-people was announced.

The big hitting pre-tournament favourite David 'The Philpster' Philp from BIM Task Group took first place. But in second place was geordie-bim-rambler myself.

Joking aside, many thanks to anyone who put in a nomination for me and also thanks to 'the grandfather of all things social media' Paul Wilkinson (@EEPaul) who supported the CIOB in pulling the list together.

Memo to self - tweet Paul more about old cameras and poets

In all seriously though, I really enjoy interacting with those in the construction industry through twitter, linkedin and blogger and it's really helped with networking, meeting some great folk and learning from those with more construction/computing knowledge than myself.

I'd suggest anyone new to twitter interested in BIM heads over the article below and follows all 50 of the folk on the list...
