More Twitterature Ahead

SEEN THIS?

Times tech columnist to pen Twitter book.

Not sick of Twitter yet? Here’s another installation of Twitterature to test your limits. The World According to Twitter, a forthcoming book by New York Times tech columnist David Pogue, is being billed as a compilation of the twitticisms he’s gathered from the site. The idea, Pogue says, began when he gave a demonstration about Twitter and posed a question to his some 200,000 Twitter followers: “Anyone got a pun that can fit in 140 characters?” The responses were immediate—and ceaseless. “I used to work at an orange juice factory, but they canned me because I couldn’t concentrate,” responded one user. Pogue will send a free copy of his book to everyone he publishes in the book. Let the tweeting begin!
