I thought this an interesting book review on twitter - the reviewer dissing the book basically but can you argue with the fact that the author has 500,000 twitter followers? Yikes. Maybe he knows something we don't!

The book's premise is very simple: Pogue throws question after question out to his followers in the Twitterverse and compiles the best answers in the book. So in 140 characters, we hear "What's the most memorable pickup line you've ever heard?" "What's your brilliant idea to improve the modern automobile?" and "Finish a familiar saying in a new way." And on and on. You get the wit and wisdom of people. Or is that twit and twisdom?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.adpulp.com/archives/2009/08/the_world_accor.php"><P>Pogue is a technology writer for the New York Times and the author of many great "Missing Manual" books for Mac and Windows programs, a few of whom I own and couldn't do without. This book's a bit more frivolous. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DE2030A7-4F22-4CF0-97A7-2768D5342125/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
