Twitter recently launched a Beta version of it’s new feature Twitter Lists. This new feature allows tweeters to organize lists of people that others can easily follow. Best Travel Deals is using this exciting new Twitter application and created a list of travel deal tweeters that we’d like to share with the travel community. We’ve named the list “Travel Deals” and it’s available here: @bestraveldeals/travel-deals.
With so many individuals and companies on Twitter it’s becoming increasingly difficult for travelers to distinguish sources for legitimate deals. Our list includes some of the best sources for travel deals on Twitter. Many of the deals announced on Twitter are last minute and short term so being able to easily keep tabs on the latest travel tweets will help you score more last minute travel deals. From millions of Twitter users, we’ve hand-picked some of the most valuable travel deal tweeters and we will continue to update as we find more sources. We’re also open to suggestions – if you have a Twitter account that is primarily (at least 50%) focused on sharing legitimate travel deals, direct message @bestraveldeals and we’ll review and add you to our list or just leave us a comment with your Twitter ID.
This new feature is especially useful for Twitter newbies who can quickly become overwhelmed by the amount of “noise” fellow tweeters can make. The list feature allows users to keep tabs on topics without including those users in their Twitter feed. These lists are easy to find or create and they provide users with the option of tuning into the conversation (and tuning out!) at their leisure. If you’d like to occasionally receive updates on a certain topic such as travel deals follow a list like @bestraveldeals/travel-deals or surf on over to listorious and search for lists on topics that interest you.
For so-called Twitter addicts, the sheer amount of information generated by the users they follow can be equally as overwhelming, especially if they tweet about many different topics. Savvy users have organized the users they follow into several different, topical lists. They’re also using lists created by other user to find “Tweeple” with similar interests. Not only are lists organizational, they’re informational as well. It’s another great way to connect with like-minded and interesting tweeters.
Whether users are novice or experienced, lists create an easy way to organize interests and tweeters and with the travel-deals list, even occasional travelers will have access to Twitter travel deals without cluttering their Twitter feed.
