   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.

   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.

   Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)

   “Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets” is full of useful advice for anyone new to Twitter or current “Twitterers” who want to increase their knowledge. The book has nine chapters covering:

   1. Getting started
   2. Customizing your profile to get a unique look
   3. Sending tweets
   4. Finding, following, and replying to other Twitter users
   5. Using Twitter on your cell phone
   6. Finding topics and people in Twitter, tips on Twitter search
   7. Integrating Twitter with other social media and blogs
   8. Different clients and gadgets for Twitter
   9. Twitter extensions for sharing non-text media, scheduling, and analytics

   I have been a Twitter user for some time, but I still found a number of new Tips and Tricks. The chapter on using Twitter on your cell phone is especially helpful, since the tiny interface is a challenge. The last three chapters are full of information not readily available elsewhere. I wish I had this book before I integrated my Twitter and Facebook accounts–I would not have spent so much time trying to do something that won’t work! The gadgets and clients are fascinating, even if you do not use them all (I am a fan of TweetDeck and TinyTwitter), and the external web sites in Chapter 9 are valuable if you are using Twitter for business–otherwise, they are just fun!

   If you are new to Twitter, “Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets” will help you use and get value from Twitter quickly. If you already tweet, you will certainly find a few tricks and tips that you did not know!

    Very good resource book-wise for everyone except the experts
    As a casual Twitter user, I was very interested in going through this book and picking up all the things I didn’t know about Twitter. And the book did not disappoint.

    Thorough, Well-Organized, Eye-Opening
    This is a reference manual for twitter. You might think that a twitter reference manual would be on the list of shortest books ever, but there is now a substantial ecosystem built…
