review 1: Picked up from when the Whitcoulls bargain book store on Queen Street was having their closing sale. Was only a few dollars. Some of the tweets are really funny and clever. I was laughing out loud sitting in the dentist's waiting room yesterday. It is quite cool what some people manage to fit into the 140 Characters of a tweet. I might be biased as I am a bit of a twitter addict. A tweetaholic some might say.
review 2: This book is not a how to book on Twitter. It will not tell how to tweet, or re-tweet (which I still haven’t figured out). This book is a collection of tweets. Interesting, funny, informative, insightful thoughts all confined to the 140 letter maximum allowed within the interface of twitter.It is divided up into section as per “tweeted quest
... moreion” and lists the best responses that David Pogue has received from his followers. Pogue asks questions like - Invent a formula for disaster; What's the best advice your parents ever gave you; and my favorite - Recipe contest! You have 140 characters. Go: These answers are amazing and addictive.This book is brilliant. It is tear inducing in both hilarity and at times sadness. It is a great “potty” book, since it can be read in short bits.This book has convinced me of Twitter’s merits and since reading this book I have started to awkwardly “tweet”. Even though I am forever distracted with the interesting info and links of the people I follow, I have to say that I am a total convert. less

A total riot. Its amazing how much humor you can jam into 140 characters.

Very funny book, but I'm biased since I was quoted in it several times.

I'm reading this book because one of my tweets is in it. That is all.
