I have many of David Pogue's books, I read his column in the NY Times but this book is just a fast way to make a buck. I expected more from him. Now I need a authorization number to return this.

If you know how to search on twitter for topics of your interest then you do not need this book.
This is just a compilation of twiits from questions the author asked to his followers.
Unless you are a David Pogue fan there is no value in reading this book.

My wife bought this for me knowing of my growing interest in Twitter and thinking it was a "How To" book. That in itself is pretty funny given that I rarely "read the manual". What I quickly learned was that she got me something much more suited to my sense of humor.
What the author has done was proven exactly what the power of social media is…..ask and you shall receive. In this case the answers were very witty responses from his followers or tweeps. I tell the hiccup story to anyone who asks me about Twitter now.
Yes it is a compilation of what others have said and some think that is cheating. I say it took a lot of creativity to think up the questions, sift through the answers and compile it into an enjoyable read. When I quote various parts I don't think of myself quoting the original sources. I think of myself as quoting the author who was bright enough to pull this together. Or his wife as it may be!

Brilliantly funny book. For a couple of months, David Pogue sent a Twitter question each day to the huge number of people who follow his Tweets and edited down the replies to make this book. The questions are his but the replies which make up the bulk of this book are from his audience. They are funny, thoughtful, smart and amply demonstrate that Twitter people are not just your Average Joes. Turns out, research shows, Twitterers are well educated, are very well read and are brilliantly witty! You can't go wrong – share the book with friends, they'll laugh too! Very highly recommended.

A whole bunch of wit, humor, and thought-provoking nuggets, all in 140-character (or less) 'bytes'! Cheers, David; many thanks for your patience and fortitude in keeping with this until fruition!
