Twitter for Dummies Book
So, I heard it through the grapevine that there’s a new Twitter book on the horizon. However, the book is Twitter for Dummies. Not so sure I’m excited to hear this. If given the opportunity, I could likely write a better book on Twitter – and certainly, not invite dummies to buy it. Your thoughts?

So there is a guide to twitter? I mean WTH? Twitter is what you make it. You have have said that since the beginning that I was on twitter in 2007. I don’t rely on any books to tell me squat. If I had a book on twitter, I would want you to have some involvement in it and I am insulted that this twitter book is *for dummies.* Any individual who can turn on a computer and search the internet and check email is not a dummy. Thank you for sharing.

I think is good that people that don’t know much (Dummies) are interested in learning about twitter and step away from the dummy status, that is what the book it about isn’t it? We should encourage the making of more books about social media so that more people become engaged and the social media networks can grow bigger and better with more user provided information.

Thing is, the best way to learn about Twitter is to get on it and start using it. Then ask somebody what’s going on!

I still don’t really understand Twitter. Even so, I somehow still manage to twitter. But am I really twittering? Because I’m not going to read the Twitter book and nobody is, they should just make it less complicated. Until then, I will keep twittering out into space.

This book is an example of how modern society is incapable of using the most simplest of technology. How do you create a whole book about 240 characters or less?

I think Twitter is an amazing website and if you’re not on it, then you’re crazy! Twitter is a site where you can only learn by actually visiting the site and signing up. Never hurts to try new things!

Don’t knock it till you read it. There’s some good stuff in there for the digital dummies.
