Twitter Wit!

I love twitter. I love reading things that people like @joeschmitt write. I use it to find new themes from @coolbbthemes or the latest bit of comedy from @thebloggess. I’ve managed to get my wife hooked on it as well, though she generally follows a different group of people then I do (she follows more main stream stars like NKOTB). Imagine my happiness when I learned that Twitter Wit: Brilliance in 140 Characters or Less was out and available.

From the Product Description:

Sometimes, what happens on Twitter shouldn’t stay on Twitter.

Twitter Wit is the first ever compilation of Twitter aphorisms and witticisms, celebrating a medium that has enabled millions of users to broadcast their lives and quips within Twitter’s 140-character limit, thus reinventing wordplay in the tradition of Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde. This collection includes hundreds of the most memorable and hilarious tweets to date, demonstrating that inside every moment is a joke waiting to be written.

Everybody’s twittering—from millions of regular folks to world-famous celebrities and writers like Ashton Kutcher, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Sarah Silverman, Penn Jillette, Neil Gaiman, Paula Poundstone, Susan Orlean, Russell Brand, Margaret Cho, Stephen Fry, Rainn Wilson, and Diablo Cody—they’re all here, and all of them sharp as stilettos.

Compiled by Nick Douglas, the founding editor of Valleywag, the book is a good collection of some of the best tweets on the web to this point. Sure, some of the ones from the past month or two have slipped by, but this is a pretty good compilation. For example:

I didn’t get where I am today by explaining things to
retards, so either pick a dipping sauce or have your
baby shower at another Chili’s.

If anything, this is a really good place to find new and funny people to follow. You can pick Twitter Wit: Brilliance in 140 Characters or Less up at your local Brick and Mortar store or at Amazon where its 26% off at a steal at $9.55. You can also grab it for the Kindle for $9.99 and read it instantly.
