If the guy wanted fame, he could have just self published the book and do heavy promotion of it all over the net through usage of social networking sites and social bookmarking sites. Yeah self promotion is a lot of work, but work pays off in the end.

Such a novel idea but in the wrong place. Twitter has changed so much from it’s original concept that its purpose now is lost. Is it a social medium, is it a business medium? Modifying anything is good as long as it is used to improve something. To modify something for one’s own gain is another story.

This is very creative but do you really think anyone will read it this way. Why not take a few bucks and buy the real thing save you time and page scrolling.

st – my technology news aggregator (tFeeder) has a keyword filter, which lets you filter news by keywords (Google, Facebook, Twitter).
It also has a !Twitter filter, which displays all news stories NOT about Twitter. There are many uninteresting stories about Twitter coming from the top technology blogs.

His website with the twitter feed should at least have the first tweet at the top and the most recent tweet at the end. people are going to sick of reading it backwards (if they read it at all).

This allows up to 1250 characters per tweet
seems a good way to save a lot of time.

But Facebook is starting to look more like Twitter every day. Also, just so you know, we made a pact among writers to post 5 stories on Twitter every time someone comes here to complain about us writing about Twitter all the time when the title of the post clearly mentions Twitter. Twitter!

Well if you havent noticed, everything is going to social networking, digital and smaller, I found ttaylordude on twitter (http://twitter.com/ttaylordude) and loved the story! this way I can check it on my Iphone every couple of hours and read up on the story. And he writes it as he goes! Thats what i find to be so cool. That must be hard as hell! But hey I like it this way I dont have to carry around a thick book to read when i never have time. Instead each new post adds to the intensity of the story! I think this idea will take off like youtube did when it first started!

Why doesn’t he just use something like blurb.com to print his book? This seems like a dumb idea.
