Twitter Wit by Nick Douglas
An anthology of Twitter aphorisms, with submissions ranging from quotidian vignettes like 'I bet in Sweden the Ikea instructions are in English' to bumper sticker-type quips like 'I think the bird of love is the dove. My husband thinks it's the swallow'.
"A whimsical collection of the best tweets so far, pithy posts that say a lot in 140 characters or less" -- Associated Press "No matter your opinion of Twitter, you can enjoy some laughs in these 140-character (or fewer) communiques from hundreds of folks, compiled by techno-smartie Douglas." -- Sacramento Bee "Douglas has collected 158 pages of proof that some of the millions of typists on Twitter are laugh-out-loud funny. A few are masters of compression, able to illuminate our common humanity in a couple of lines of text. String enough of them together in the right order, as Douglas has done, and you've got a crowdsourced replacement for David Foster Wallace, without the too-long-didn't-read factor." -- LA Weekly
Technology writer and humorist Nick Douglas was the founding editor of Valleywag, and has also written for Wired, Slate, and the Huffington Post. Douglas lives in New York City.
