Terrific resource for those deciding whether or not to Twitter,
My teenage daughters talked me into signing up for Twitter. I had no idea what I was getting into. But I had found a few old school friends and work colleagues on Facebook, so I thought: Why not?
When I started getting emails from perfect strangers saying they were “following” me on Twitter, I thought perhaps I should find out what this phenomenon was really all about. So I ordered this book.
The book is well-written, and keeps within the parameters of knowledge which would belong to the average computer-savvy person (i.e. someone who can use a computer to surf for pleasure, word process, send email and do their office job.) It explained the reasoning behind Twitter, which is to keep up with friends and their lives in short bursts (bytes, really) of frequent information. The book also explains how to use shortcuts and extra features to enhance one’s Twitter experience.
What the book did for me, admirably, is convince me that Twitter is a complete waste of time. I am already inundated with information which I feel I must assimilate to stay current in this fast-paced world. Twitter is an electronic pastime which I can safely do without. This book helped me decide that, and I think it did a good job of it.
You might come to the opposite conclusion after reading this book. It’s an excellent resource, no matter what you decide.
Highly recommended.

Great resource for all who want to learn and maximize Twitter,
Twitter as a social networking tool is exploding and this book is the first to help you untangle all of information you need to learn about Twitter and put out your first “tweet.” It provides a good foundation for the basics of getting started but it is also loaded with intermediate and advanced tips and tricks to get the most out of Twitter. Whether you just want to start tweeting or are looking for ways to leverage Twitter to its fullest, I think you’ll find everything you need to learn and maximize Twitter in this book.

Great and useful resource,
Paul McFedries book contains all the information you need to get on board with Twitter. Though it’s easy to sign up on and start using the popular social media site, this book does indeed provide you many of the latest tips, tricks, and resources for getting the most out of Twitter.
Other books about Twitter cover how to use the site as a networking and marketing strategy for your business. Paul’s book instead focuses on the general Twitter user. You get step-by-step instructions about signing up on the site, customizing your Twitter homepage, connecting with other Twitter members, and doing powerful searches on Twitter. The last third of the book gives you advance resources that get you beyond and connects you back to the Twitter.com website. You learn about desktop and mobile applications for Twittering, as well how to have your Twitter updates show up on your existing web or blog site. There’s even a nice two-page glossary of Twitter related lingo that will give you “tweet cred” (Twitter creditability) amongst your friends and associates.
This book is beautifully illustrated, and the writing is clear and concise. I kinda wish, though, that it was formatted in 6×9 size, rather the traditional 9×6 book size. The landscape orientation would have made this book feel more like the true guide that it is.
Much of the information found in this book is available for free on the Internet, but having these resources collected in one place saves you time from doing all that searching. The author is a prolific writer who has sold books worldwide. So this book is well worth the price if you want to get up to speed on Twitter.
