Once upon a time, Twitter‘s growth prospects outside the United States appeared to be limited, because of differences in text message pricing. Well, it looks like that won’t be a problem any more. On your next trip to Australia, you’ll be able to tweet like mad thanks to the social media platform’s new partnership with Telstra (@Telstra), the wireless carrier down there.
To get you started, here are five Australian users that Twitter suggests you follow. Of course, you should keep an eye on @Gadling, too.
@australian (News from The Australian newspaper)
@delta_goodrem (Musician)
@kyleandjackieo (Australia’s #1 radio show)
@DanniiMinogue (Team Minogue judge for The X Factor)
@KevinRuddPM (Prime Minister)
There’s no question that Twitter can be incredibly helpful while you’re on the road. Be sure to hit up the locals for bar tips and under-the-radar attractions. This week, Twitter also announced its entry into Ireland and Indonesia.
