I was just perusing the books on social media at the local book store, when I noticed this book. I was intrigued by the subtitle, “a style guide for the short form.” My curiosity got the best of me. How can you have style in only 140 characters? What forms of English can be expressed in this little form? What does someone with a grasp of English and a background at twitter think of hash tags?
Dom Sagolla ( @Dom ), one of the founders of twitr (yes, back when it was still known as twitr) is just such a guy. He not only lays out a structure or context for thinking of the style behind a tweet, he supplies great tips on how to navigate Twitter. There are tips on who to follow, applications to use and types of messages to write.
Overall, this is a must read if you intend to market yourself or your company on Twitter and a pretty good book even if you only have a passing interest in Twitter.
