Birds on a Wire – Reviewing Twitter Books

Hey Chris, still at a loss which one you'd recommend for some real Twitter insights?

Love your reviews! Oh, yeah, you knew that already. ;-) Still carefully going through Trust Agents. Really an excellent book Chris. Will not be timid about introducing myself in ATL on the 25th of Sept.

For the THOUGHTFUL book, go Twitterville.

For how-to, go All a Twitter and/or Twitter for Dummies.

For some interesting insights, get the others.

Maybe you reviewed Joel Comm's “Twitter Power” before but that's a very good one.

Great post! I'm with you, too many Twitter books. I'm surprised you didn't also throw in Joel Comm's “Twitter Power” too… that seems to be a big title in the “Twitter” genre. I've wanted to read it (along with Shel's Twitterville) for a while.

Anyway, great review — love the condensed style and getting multiple reviews in one video!

A thought and a question, Chris:

First, the thought: I heard you describe more than one book as “interesting.” Whenever I hear people use the words “nice” or “interesting” as adjectives, I recollect my 12th grade high school English teacher who warned us never to use those words as they describe everything and nothing simultaneously. My take is modifiers like “useful,” “engaging,” even “disappointing” are more accurate than “interesting.” Soapbox off.

Second, I recall hearing you wrote or were profiled in a chapter of Twitterville. I don't know your involvement in the other books. It would be helpful if you could edit the above text to include a disclosure of such.

Great summary, otherwise. Thanks!

6(!) books about Twitter!? Probably more coming. Feels like cashing in on trendy apps to me. Do people really need entire books to understand Twitter? Really? :)

Agreed. People just riding the wave and trying to cash in while it's still hot.

And Chris, I second Ari's question. If you had involvement in these 6 books (or at least one of them), you should at least mention that since that's probably the reason you chose to review them (or people chose to send them to you as opposed to anybody else).

Aren't you on IZEA's board, the poster boys of “full disclosure”? ;)

Awesome Chris. Thanks for the reviews.

Has anyone coined the phrase 'Twitterature' yet when it comes to books about said micro-blogging service? – because i really think they should :-)

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I can't agree more.

Twitter for dummies, 250 pages. Incredible. Twitter is already for dummies, that's the beauty of it.
