Find Travel Deals on Twitter
Social networking site Twitter is so much more than a source for updates on the #RoyalBaby and a place to post #ItsSoHot wisecracks. If you have the flexibility to travel on impulse, Twitter can help you locate last-minute deals on unsold rooms, cruises, vacation packages and more. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, here's how to peek at Tweets from leading deal providers and travel aggregators. Follow these Twitter feeds, and you'll see a steady stream of offers worth exploring.
