Twitter has become a world wide phenomenon now used by millions of people. Twitter is a free online social networking tool that allows users to post short 140-character updates to the Web for their 'followers' to read. As well, the site also allows users to 'follow' other people. This popular micro-blogging site has become a handy tool for world travelers. If you are planning on using Twitter while traveling, below are a number of useful tips to make the Twitter experience more worthwhile:
1. Before you book your vacation, follow some travel experts and travel groups from the area where you will be traveling. They will usually tweet areas of interest, information about events and attractions in the area, and special discounts being offered. You can also ask them questions.
As well, following travel agencies and airlines will allow you to take advantage of late breaking deals and participate in promotion deals. It is essential to follow tweeters that best suit your travel plans. For instance, JetBlue has almost 500,000 followers to date and they often send out their latest deals information. You can ensure that you don't miss out on special deals by setting up Twitter feeds. This can be done by clicking on 'RSS feed updates' on the profile page of the Tweeter you want to follow.
2. Twitter is a great way to find discounts on local hotels, restaurants, and other events and attractions. Consider following local establishments, hotels, and resorts, tourist bureaus, and more in the vacation destination for updates about latest deals and bargains. More businesses are now using Twitter to advertise their deals and promotions.
3. A helpful tool for Twitter users is an application known as TweetDeck. This application acts much like a personal browser which will display messages from preferred tweeters that is located in easy to navigate columns that organize the content according to the user's personal preferences.
4. Twitter search is a helpful tool that has an easy to use search box that displays related results from the site. For instance, when using this tool to monitor flights, you can arrange for all related real-time tweets posted on the site that can include the airline, airport, or other travelers.
5. There are travelers that are using people on Twitter to help them plan their vacation instead of using a travel guide book. For instance, as they travel, they will pose such questions as where is a good place to stay. Where is a good place to eat? Where is a good place to have a cup of coffee? Where is the best beach? Twitter can be very helpful if you are looking for recommendations.
Twitter is a social networking site that is fast becoming an indispensable tool for travelers as well as the travel industry. Because tweeting is limited to just 140 characters, the information sent out is just the facts with no fluff. Twitter is now also the fastest way to communicate with other travelers and travel industry. If you have not jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, it may be time to join and start enjoying the travel tweets.
