Twitter For Dummies

Last night at the Full of Win Happy Hour at Citizen Space, in the yellow section of their bookshelf I came across the “Twitter For Dummies” book written by Laura Fitton, Michael E. Gruen and Leslie Poston. I was thinking we should organize an event were we do dramatic readings from the book. Who’s in?

Now it’s time for your first post, the “Hello World” of Twitter. Enter: I don’t get it… what’s the point of Twitter?

Click “update”.

Congratulations!

“But as you add more updates, it becomes important to show to other people what is going on in your life. So for your next update, you might want to say something like, ‘I’m reading Twitter for Dummies!’

“BOMB: Your tweets are publicly visible and may have even been read by others or archived by Google even if you delete it immediately. It’s not the end of the world, but be careful!”

I noticed you all reading the book (and have some photos to prove it), but I was busy at the time to join in the fun. :-( The book is even better than a White Elephant gem from my shelf: MySpace for Dummies. :-)

Oh hell yeah, ditto what Michael said – if you make it happen, I’m there :) Fun idea.
