My last post got me to thinking about some of the major travel companies, and what they have to offer you for participating on Twitter, and also some of the blog writers that use Twitter to create a good feed for their posts. Some companies have multiple Twitter accounts: some for brands, service, and deals. Others have a single account that does a little bit of everything. The hardest part is keeping track of it all. Therefore, I am going to use this post as a repository of twitter listings that can help make life easier, either through special offers, news, or interacting quickly with someone without having to go through the impersonal call centers. This started from a listing of what I follow, and will be updated with comments from readers.
