Customer Reviews
I use the Internet and I have a Twitter account. I didn't open an account until June 2009 and even then I was a bit skeptical about Twitter. I really don't need to know what Larry Smith ate for breakfast or that my neighbor down the street just went to the bathroom. However, I eventually realized and understood how valuable a tool Twitter could be and no longer view the medium in disdain. Much of this understanding came after I read THE TWITTER BOOK by Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein.
THE TWITTER BOOK is written not only for people who have never heard of Twitter, but for those, like I used to be, who are interested in using the social networking tool but are a bit wary of it. I used the book for a several months after reading it; I kept it by my computer and used it as a reference tool.
The book is quite easy to read. It contains six chapters, each of which are filled with colorful illustrations, vivid screenshots, and helpful tips. The first chapter in the book describes how to open a Twitter account, what you can type, basic Twitter jargon, and where to go if you need help. The second, third, fourth, and fifth chapters all have to deal with how to accumulate followers, what trends are, programs to help you become a more prominent person in the Twitterverse, how to reply back to messages, the best things to retweet (RT), what you should share about yourself, and much more. The sixth and final chapter of the book is oriented towards those who want to use Twitter for business purposes and how to incorporate the tips, lessons, and strategies you've learned into improving your business presence in the on-line world.
THE TWITTER BOOK is easy to read and understand. It gives a solid foundation of the basics for new Twitter users, but if you've already been using Twitter for awhile, you probably won't find much use in THE TWITTER BOOK. If you're interested in Twitter or have just starting writing tweets and want to know more, I highly recommend THE TWITTER BOOK.
