Go Tweet Yourself: 365 Reasons Why Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and Other Social Networking Sites Suck

by Janelle Randazza

Flip Twitter the bird.
Tell Facebook to f#@% off.
Lose it on LinkedIn.

Somewhere between the advent of Facebook and launching Twitter to the masses, the Internet betrayed us. It allowed pages to be viewed by job interviewers, newsfeeds to be flooded by Aunt Julie, and for constant tweets about what color socks that random girl from the study group is going to wear today.

This book is the hilarious reply all that enough is enough. We don’t want to see the pictures from your business trip to Omaha. We don’t want a page-by-page account of what’s going on in Twilight. We definitely don’t want a virtual drink!

When you can’t fix the problem, fix the blame. And since there’s no way in 2.0-hell that you can put an end to the bastardization of the Book, you may as well have a good laugh while pointing the finger at those who ruined their online experience.

Funny read and very light hearted. If you're into social media, you'll appreciate these 365 facts.

It was informative in a way because at some parts, it give facts about social netowrks like how many active users were there in that year and who created it and others. I can relate to some especially I also have account in Friendster, Facebook and Twitter so I also know the differences within them. however, at some parts, I don't get her and even if she was joking in some parts. It was supposed to be humour, I know but it looks like ranting the whole, in my perspective that's why I did not really enjoy the book. I hardly laugh.

3.5 stars.

A fun and entertaining read for anyone (like myself) who is obsessed with Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking sites.

Mildly entertaining ranting about twitter and Facebook. A lot is repeated in different ways and not very funny but some valid points and interesting facts.
