I’m afraid I remain unconverted. I signed up to Twitter one time and after that every time I tried to sign in it said I didn’t exist, but even aside from that I didn’t get hooked like everyone else seems to have been. I don’t like the thing and I don’t understand the appeal.
I hoped that this book would help me understand, maybe convert me… it didn’t. However, it was very informative and I highly suggest it to anyone who likes Twitter, but is just looking for more information or tips and tricks. It everything from a short history of Twitter, to a dictionary of Twitter terms, to tips on how to get more followers, to a description of how to use Twitter on your mobile device. Everything I can think of that I’d want to know is included, so I recommend it without hesitation.

I joined Twitter out of curiosity, and without really knowing much about it. Consequently I did not find it particularly useful and pretty much stopped tweeting. However, now that I have read Everything Twitter,I am going to experiment more. The authors start with a brief history of the Twitter phenomenon and some of its more famous (notorious?) users, then provide a step-by-step guide to getting started. They also give good advice on what not to do! I was fascinated by all the web sites and tools out there that are Twitter-related; the authors describe many of the most interesting ones. There is a whole language associated with Twitter, and the Twictionary chapter defines all the Twords for you. For the more technical, the authors show you how to plug Twitter into your web site or blog. They offer many tips & techniques for Tweeting from your phone. Overall, the book has made me want to play with Twitter more. It is also very readable, with good use of white space and an attractive layout – more than I can say for many of the technical manuals and user guides I have encountered!

Twitter is talked about everywhere these days but not many of us really know how to use it effectively. I found the information in this book is written in such a way that it can be comfortably read straight through or used as a “how to” manual. Screen shots are included with each section to ensure you are following properly. Examples of how Twitter is used by different people and organizations is also included. I have this as an eBook so opened two screens while using it. I followed the steps and suggestions and now have an active Twitter site of my own.

This book is very useful for someone new to the world of Twitter. It gives a lot of useful information to help someone get started on twitter. I esp found 5 step twitter starter program and A River of Uselessfulness very helpful. I also liked the Twictionary. This book is very easy to read and understand. This is a nice resource to someone new to the world of Twitter. I know that I have referred back to it numerous times as I was getting my handle on Twitter.

Having grown up in the days of vinyl records, manual typewriters, and black-and-white TV (all 4 channels), I’m definitely NOT tech savvy. After reading Everything Twitter I’m at least feeling confident that I could, book in hand, successfully navigate the Twitter website and get myself launched into the world of Twitter. The book has clearly written, step-by-step instructions and examples, together with an extensive glossary of terms and texting symbols. Don’t let the first chapter intimidate you–it contains a history of Twitter and information about its current status using terminology that went right over my head. Chapter 2 will take you by the hand and lead you through. Well written for the novice Twitter user, and a handy reference to its finer points for the more experienced.
