Twitterville Video Book Review

September 9, 2009 By 15 Comments

Today I review Twitterville by Shel Israel.  I enjoyed reading Twitterville because Shel does a great job of telling the stories that have come to make Twitter what many of us love.  The book doesn’t provide you with a lot of tactical, go out and do it-type information.  But, what it does do is tell you stories about how Twitter has been used to form communities, trust and relationships.

I definitely think it’s worth picking up, especially if you’re new to Twitter or still don’t quite get what everyone gets so excited over it.

    Hi Justin, thanks for the helpful review. It's definitely on my reading list. I just finished The New Community Rules by Tamar Weinberg and thought that was an excellent book. My next read is Trust Agents (can't wait) and then Twitterville is next up.

    I hear a book that's title something like “Putting the Public Back in Public
    Relations” is pretty good too ;) If you haven't read “Rules of Thumb” by
    Alan M. Webber, I'd add that to your reading list too.

    Thank you! I also have “Rules of Thumb” on my list. Chris recommended it about a month ago on his blog :) There's also one on Marketing on FB that I think will be really good once it comes out!!

    This review hits me at a time when my fascination with Twitter is waning. I still get a lot of value with Twitter Search, but, sadly, the honeymoon is over reading people's posts at random.

    Yet, I will take a peek at Shel's book at the library soon.

    That is understandable and I think some others feel that same way too. Take
    a peek at the book and see what you think. At the very least, it will be a
    good history lesson and storytelling :)

    Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.
