Twitter based Travel Website will help fill seats

GRABiT.travel, New Zealand's 1st Twitter based Travel Website will help fill seats, tables and beds!


Mar 30, 2010/ – With the social networking age well and truly upon us, more and more information is being distributed and shared online, but how do you filter this to find what you really want? John Jepson, the Founder of New Zealand born GRABiT.travel says "GRABiT retrieves and filters New Zealand related travel information from Twitter.com every sixty seconds to provide our users with live tourism and hospitality deals from across the country."

By fetching live information from Twitter.com every sixty seconds, http://nz.grabit.travel/ draws it's user's attention to last minute deals from tourism and hospitality operators with empty seats, tables or beds!

GRABiT provides a completely new and unique distribution channel that exists beyond the boundaries of Twitter as well as within it. It will benefit tourism and hospitality businesses across New Zealand by enabling them to offer last minute deals to potential customers searching for special offers.

Jepson says "It's free to use and takes less than a minute to join, so there's nothing to lose! Business owners don't need to use Twitter religiously to take advantage of GRABiT, only when they've got a deal they want to let people know about."

GRABiT integrates with existing Twitter.com accounts so there are no forms to fill out or passwords to remember, users only need to authorise their Twitter account from GRABiT making it ridiculously easy to use.

GRABiT's attractive and easy to install widgets for partner websites vastly increase the number of distribution outlets for an operator's tweets, and GRABiT's integration with Twitter also means tweets become much more visible across the Twitter network.

Before GRABiT, a potential customer had to be consciously following a business on Twitter to be made aware of their special offers, now they just have to log on to GRABiT!
