I’m sure all of you have heard of twitter by now, in fact I tweet with most of you already. But, I have some Very Big News that I would like to share with ya’ll regarding one of my closest friends of all time AND twitter.
Also, for those of you who are not familiar with twitter, I would like to help point you in the right direction on how to get started and thrive in the twitter community!
One of my closest friends of over 20+ years whom you all may already know as Leslie Poston founder and creator of Uptown Uncorked has recently published a book!!
I am so proud and so excited for her – that I simply could NOT wait to share this with you all.
The book is called: Twitter For Dummies by Laura Fitton, Michael Gruen, and Leslie Poston.
Twitter can boost your business and marketing efforts, and this guide shows you how! Twitter, the simple-to-use microblogging service, offers immense benefits for businesses and organizations. Fire departments, political candidates, and CEO’s have used Twitter to share up-to-the-minute information. Laura Fitton, maybe better known by her Twitter handle – @Pistachio, has more than 10,000 followers on Twitter, and gives presentations on how to use Twitter to build business and personal opportunity. She’s joined by Michael Gruen and Leslie Poston to share Twitter expertise in this easy-to-follow guide.
You’ll discover how to get set up on Twitter, build a follower list, and find a voice for your tweets. Then you’ll learn to use third party tools to link Twitter to other sites and incorporate it into business communication models. This book covers
* The basics of signing up and creating tweets
* Following other users and adding followers to your own tweets
* Mastering the “Twecosystem”-the tools that tie Twitter to many other Web applications, including mobile devices
* Strategies for enhancing business communication, marketing, and networking opportunities with Twitter
Twitter For Dummies gets you up and running on this hot communications tool the fun and easy way.
The book will soon be available for purchase on Amazon!

I think it really is time for me to jump on the Twitter bandwagon … hehehe … happy weekend Meleah.
I think that is fantastic news for your friend. Congrats to her.
I was only on Twitter for a short while. First of all, it made it all too apparent to me how uninteresting my life is; and second, it started to feel like more of a nuisance than anything else. What can I say, I was born in 1964. 🙂
That said, I completely agree that it is a great tool for business related things, or being updated on something like the weather. So, it definitely has some strong pluses. And most people seem to be taking to it pretty well.
That’s great for Leslie. All this new technology and innovation we uncover everyday can open doors for people.
Sorry, but I am not bit on twittering. I just don’t think I have that much interesting things in my life to twitter about 24/7. Besides, I have one of them blackberry devices for the office that keeps me occupied (too much).
Nick:
Good Idea
Steph:
I used to abuse twitter a lot more, until I discovered facebook! Now I spend most f my time over there, but, I still use twitter once in a while.

That’s awesome. I do like twitter. Good stuff.
Leslie:
