false 6676414 1 The Wit and Wisdom of the Twittersphere captured in a hilarious, and occasionally poignant, collection of handpicked tweets-the first-ever book created exclusively using content from Twitter.com!  To demonstrate the real-time nature of Twitter during a recent lecture, New York Times "Circuits" columnist David Pogue turned from his PowerPoint presentation to his Twitter page and typed "I need a cure for hiccups....RIGHT NOW! Help?"  In less than 15 seconds, feedback poured in:  "Have someone slowly & softly count backwards from 10-1 in Russian for you.  Works every time!"  "Simple.  Just hold your breath until Windows 7 is released."  So in addition to his daily posts about technology, Pogue began posing questions to his "followers" that ranged from the earnest (What's your greatest regret?) to the curious (What's the best bumper sticker you've seen lately?) to the creative (Make up an ancient Chinese proverb).  The responses, edited by Pogue and gathered in this irresistible book, are clever and often laugh-out loud funny.  The World According to Twitter is at once a marvelous book and a grand social networking experiment in which tens of thousands of voices have come together to produce a humorous, thought-provoking record of shared human experience. <br><br> 6871510 1 9 2009 The World According to Twitter total:10|5:2|4:6|3:1|2:1|1:0| 10 39 22 8 3 0 false false Thu Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 07:16:03 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 07:24:37 -0700 2009

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.
