I don’t usually read these types of books – I like to read for fun. But guess what, this book IS fun. I have been on Twitter for about 6 months and this answered some questions I had as well as giving me new information on compatible applications, building a network and “twetiquette”. I’m not using all that Twitter has to offer just yet so will keep this book around for future reference.

Twitter is all the rage. It seems to be the new Facebook. Everywhere you see people madly creating 140 character (or less) messages on their Blackberries.
I have to admit that I have been rather hesitant about Twitter. I keep getting images in my mind about receiving messages about what someone had for breakfast or that they were going to the washroom. I know for a fact, I don’t have that kind of time to waste.
However, after reading All A Twitter, I’m beginning to see that Twitter has far more potential. Yes, there are going to be people just wasting time on Twitter but there are also people who really have something interesting to say. The key is discernment, both in writing tweets and in who you choose to follow.

I am a recently unemployed individual looking to develope a career as an independant designer of knitwear and knitting patterns. As such, I wanted to take advantage of the latest social networking technology available. I looked at a few books on Twitter. I had heard of it, knew of a few people who were already on it, but really had no idea what it was, how it could be used, or how to go about using it. I chose “All A Twitter” because it gives you not only the technical information about Twitter but more importantly the nuances of what Twitter can be and how you can make the most of your tweets.
Tee Morris’s book was a HUGE help! It is written in an easy to use, conversational style. It is arranged in such a way that you can read the beginning, open your Twitter account, and then continue reading as you begin tweeting and gaining experience. This is really like having a friend (a really cool, tech-savy friend) come over for coffee and teach you how to tweet.
Getting started on Twitter and sending tweets is simple. Creating a profile and sending and using tweets in a way that will get you noticed (in a possitive way) and becoming part of a vibrant community is not so simple (unless you have read this book).
Tee explains some of the many, many options available for Twitter related applications in a fair and balanced way so that you can make your own decissions about what to try. He also has tips and tricks scattered throughout. And, most importantly, things to avoid doing so that you do not become part of the ‘noise’ that will lead to being unfollowed or worse yet, blocked.
Like most things in life Twitter is what you make of it. Tee has helped make Twitter and the tweeple I follow a remarkable part of my life both personally and professionally.
You can find me @fearlessknitter and the author is @TeeMonster. I’m sure he would be happy to hear from you (preferably after you have read his book). Use #allatwitter as the hash tag (you’ll understand that too after you read the book).

This book is a solid homerun and a terrific read. It’s written by Tee Morris, a guy that not only knows what he’s talking about, but has been an active member of the Twitter community since 2007. In my opinion, he has plenty of “Tweet Cred.” In about 270 easy-to-read pages, Tee covers it all; from what Twitter is, to more importantly, what it is not, to setting it up properly, taking it on the go while also providing a Ben Franklin “what I like, what I don’t” on a wide variety of desktop clients and apps that have sprung up to support the Twitter community. The book contains thirteen chapters with two appendices.
While I had created a Twitter account months ago, I honestly had done little with it. Why? Beyond “tweeting” that I had just walked my dog, I wasn’t sure what the fuss was about. Seems that most people who initially discover Twitter are either overwhelmed by it or use it primarily as a broadcast medium.
What impressed me the most about this book is that you will quickly realize there are quality people, and Tee is in that vanguard, that care passionately about “building a community” and are not simply typing inane phrases or focusing exclusively on trying to monetizing the Twitter experience. Social media is supposed to be about connecting. Quality of relationships and not sheer quantity of followers, is the name of the game.
I buy a lot of computer books and this is worth the money. Not surprising though, for as long as I’ve been reading computer books (there is no shame in admitting that), Que has been a consistently strong performer. There are tips and tricks in here that I suspect even a hardcore Twitter user will pick up. Check this book out. You will not be disappointed. The only question I had after reading it was “When is Part Two coming?!”

After reading this book, I found that Tee Morris’s approach to twitter was balanced, fair and sound. His perspectives of using twitter for business seem like a breath of fresh air from the other publications that just go about spouting the magnificence of this application and nothing else. Tee tells you about twitter “like it is.” He pulls no punches in telling you what it is NOT and how some people are using it in ways that actually backfire on them, due to their ignorance (or stubbornness).
Especially useful was the chapter on ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA. This approach places the weblebrities, the spammers, the Internet ‘gurus’ and “marketers” into their proper light and helps you to decide whom to follow (and, respecitively, whom to un-follow) so that your twitter experience and presence can be of more value to your followers (and to your company).
Enjoyable is Tee Morris’s style and his personal expression of not only his opinions, but also the pitfalls into which he himself had fallen — so that we don’t do the same. In short, I really took this as a great “lessons-learned” approach in this treatise on twitter. And, yes, I have read several other books about twitter (they were either only how-to books or ‘twitter-love-fest’ themes, unfortunately).
