Product Description

Review

"Twitter for Dummies may be 266 pages long and contain an index, but it would probably help quite a few people to give it a read. Thorough." (AdAge.com, July 7, 2009)

Product Description

Twitter can boost your business and marketing efforts, and this guide shows you how

Twitter, the simple-to-use microblogging service, offers immense benefits for businesses and organizations. Fire departments, political candidates, and C0EOs have used Twitter to share up-to-the-minute information. Laura Fitton, maybe better known by her Twitter handle - @Pistachio, has more than 10,000 followers on Twitter, and gives presentations on how to use Twitter to build business and personal opportunity. She's joined by Michael Gruen and Leslie Poston to share Twitter expertise in this easy-to-follow guide.

You'll discover how to get set up on Twitter, build a follower list, and find a voice for your tweets. Then you'll learn to use third party tools to link Twitter to other sites and incorporate it into business communication models. This book covers

  • The basics of signing up and creating tweets
  • Following other users and adding followers to your own tweets
  • Mastering the "Twecosystem"-the tools that tie Twitter to many other Web applications, including mobile devices
  • Strategies for enhancing business communication, marketing, and networking opportunities with Twitter

Twitter For Dummies gets you up and running on this hot communications tool the fun and easy way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best source of Twitter info yet, July 8 2009
By Dennis J. Lupton "Twitter @Headshota23" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twitter For Dummies (Paperback)
I purchased this book after finding just enough information elsewhere to get me addicted to Twitter. The information I was able to find was a bit vague and seemed to be more for the veteran than the newbie. Then along came "Twitter for Dummies" and all of my questions were answered. This book not only explains how you do everything, but why you would want to in the first place. It is written with a clear understanding and a true passion for the service. Twitter is such a fast evolving service that is used by so many different people and organizations for so many different reasons that no book could ever cover it all. Fortunately, the authors have provided additional resources which will provide whatever updated or changing information you may need. But be forewarned, if you are just a casual user of Twitter, this book may make you a true addict.

As with other "for Dummies" books, "Twitter for Dummies" is broken down into convenient, independent sections which contain all of the necessary information a reader needs to gain a full understanding of each topic. Although a cover to cover read will give a reader a somewhat unnecessary review of the basics required for each section, the authors have placed enough little factoids and bits of information (@Pistachio's Easter eggs) throughout the book that you will want to read it all.

If you purchase this book, you can find me on Twitter at @Headshota23 (shameless plug). I'm sure I will see you there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book to Jump Start Your Twitter Experience, July 21 2009
By S. J. Pesner "mystery and marketing maven" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twitter For Dummies (Paperback)
Should this review be just 140 characters? I don't think it would be helpful; or how about: "Great book. Buy it. Great for newbies and sort-of-newbies."

I had been on Twitter for several months, but could never really get a handle on what the benefits were, how to "talk the Twitter language" and how to manage all the tweets I was getting.

Yes, the book starts with the basics of signing on (well, it IS a "Dummies" book), but even some of the basics were things I needed to know. The authors are also very upfront that things are constantly changing; but this being Twitter, they'll also provide updates via @dummies.

The book is well organized and answered all my questions so that I'm not afraid to go online (or on-mobile!) and dive in. In fact, the authors encourage you to jump into conversations and not be shy.

Lots of good tips, lots of things to do on Twitter.

If you've been using Twitter for a while and feel you know you way around, this book isn't for you. It's for the rest of us--those of us who may have put our toes in but needed to be up to submerge ourselves (bad metaphor?), or for those who may have been afraid of this new social medium. Happy tweets!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Now Tweeting Like a Bird!, Aug 17 2009
By Dennis G. "Dennis" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twitter For Dummies (Paperback)
I have been using Twitter in my business for several months now without a real understanding of all the ins and outs of the service. There was aspects of the service that I wasn't taking advantage of because I had no idea they existed. I was in essence leaving money on the table.

I now have a much clearer understanding of Twitter and all its features. More importantly, I now have a plan to use Twitter to build real lasting relationships for my business. Twitter for Dummies is THE source for not only beginners but for those who already have an account but don't know what RT means or what a #hashtag is or for those who are lost for ways to create lasting, meaningful relationships using social media.

Twitter will soon be the king of all social media so the time is now to jump on the train. Twitter for Dummies is your boarding pass.

Lets connect on Twitter @dennis_gill.
