“Very informative and offers many great suggestions on how to get started on Twitter, especially for businesses. I really enjoyed the list of Twitter tools that were available that I didn't know about.
In Chapter 11, Joel hands it off to Ken Burge, Preside of InfoMedia, Inc to talk about using Twitter's APIs and the programming aspect of it. This chapter just touches the surface of Twitter APIs, and doesn't dive too deeply into it.
In Chapter 12, Joel asks Kevin Houchin of Houchin Law in Nothern Colorado to talk about the legal issues that may surround the use of Twitter. It's a very informative chapter on things to thing about before you tweet.
Chapter 13 puts everything you read in a nice outline. Great recap for the Twitter newbie.
Chapter 14 lists all the power twitters which I think is too short, but good to know.
Overall, it's a great book if you're just starting to use Twitter, especially business. And if you don't use it for business, it's a nice way to see what tactics businesses are using on Twitter. ;)
Some chapters and techniques are slightly outdated due to new updates on Twitter and the larger user database.”
