Wow! I had no idea how useful Twitter can actually be! I joined Twitter to help my business and to get more people looking at my linked Facebook page and web page. The problem was, I had no idea how to use it, especially not to it's fullest potential. Once I read this book and figured out how to use Twitter best, I've noticed quite a few new website views! I'm glad that I'm finally taking advantage of this awesome resource!

I generally try to stay away from books that promote social media, even though I know it's completely necessary for me to fit in with the book-loving world I'm immersed in. However, You Are What You Tweet was given to me by a friend with a note that I just 'had' to read it, so I gave it a shot ... and loved it!
Kent is an author who truly has her finger on the pulse of how social media works, and how we can harness it to our advantage. After the first few chapters, I was hooked and knew I definitely wanted to learn more. My own Twitter account had been neglected for a few months, but now I felt a renewed sense of enthusiasm for resurrecting it from the ashes.
With humor, wit and polite intentions, Germany Kent shows you how Twitter can bring about positive change in your online life through 140-character messages. It's been a great tool to have at my disposal, and I'm thankful this book came into my life when it did.
