Tapping into the vast and knowledgeable Twittervise, David Pogue, tech editor for the New York Times, recently released his book, composed entirely of Tweets. The World According to Twitter, by Dave Pogue, is made up of 2,524 tweet responses to Pogue's variety of questions sent into the Twitter world. And excitingly enough, yours truly, from BLASTmedia, has done her part to coauthor!

About the Book:
"Every night at 11 pm, I posted a new question to my followers on Twitter...Then, for the next two hours, I'd sit there on the couch, reading the replies and cackling like a deranged person...In the end, I posed 95 questions. They generated over 25,00 responses...As you'll soon see, this book's coauthors are some of the wittiest, sharpest, most interesting people on the Internet...And thanks to the unique, real-time, communications channel called Twitter, they've successfully completed a massive collaborative experiment." Pogue, David. The World According to Twitter, Black Dog & Leventhal publishers, 2009, pg. 12-13.

I happen to agree with his assessment of the authors, but that aside, my contribution came in response to the question, "What's your favorite little-known household hint?"

"Chopping up a lemon and putting it down your garbage disposal helps disinfect your disposal and makes it smell nice! -@HillaryMoney (pg. 207)
