We have implemented Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn so far. Twitter has been great for announcements such as the mail plane arrivals and delays, and also for announcing new products or changes to services.

Read on with care, some are very un-traditional and many probably say more about my strange sense of humour than anything else! So obviously we start with The Queen (Parody account). Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour oneself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come to life #reigning9to5. — Elizabeth Windsor (@Queen_UK) October 8, 2012.

Social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are helping the event integrate its audience, but it also gives an audience the power to make or break an event, company or cause.
