Why does this entry deserve to win?

The growth and success we've had with TechCrunch's Twitter account has been without the use of Twitter's promoted account ads. There are very few accounts that exist on Twitter that come anywhere close to the engagement levels TechCrunch gets, and there are even fewer with such a large and dedicated following. If you follow tech news on Twitter, you follow TechCrunch.
