Wit, wisdom and observation served up in 140 characters or less. Twitter has become the ultimate vehicle to deliver your thoughts (succinctly) to the world, and David Pogue, the New York Times’ “Circuits” columnist, has channeled the ingenuity of social networking by posting humorous and provocative questions to his almost 500,000 followers.
The result? The World According to Twitter, which recounts the best responses received (25,000 thoughts winnowed down to 2,524) on any number of topics, from the silly (make up a concept for a new TV show that’s probably doomed), to the profound (what’s the bright side of growing old?), to the squirm-inducing (describe your most. embarrassing. moment. ever). Gives new meaning to “keeping it short but sweet”.
