What are you doing?
With that humble, even mundane, question, a company, a network, and a phenomenon were born.
What are you doing?
It's a question that seems crafted to elicit nothing but the most trivial of replies: I just woke up; I'm having bacon and eggs for breakfast; I'm in a boring meeting; I just finished dinner; I'm going to bed.
But a funny thing has happened in the three years or so that Twitter has been part of the social networking scene: Twitter users took the original What are you doing? question and morphed it into something more along the lines of What's happening now? That seemingly subtle change has made all the difference because it opens up a world of new questions: What are you reading? What great idea did you just come up with? What are you worried about? What interesting person did you just see or hear? What great information did you stumble upon on the Web? What hilarious video would you like to share?
Yes, you can still tell people what you're doing, and lots of Twitter users do just that. What's different now is that you're free to turn your Twitter experience into anything you want it to be. To do that, however, you need a guide to the ins and outs of Twitter and the tools, services, and sites that have sprung up in its wake. That's what Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets aims to be. This book not only tells you everything you need to know to get started with Twitter and perform all of its standard chores, but it goes beyond the basics to show you how to wring every last bit of usefulness, education, and fun out of Twitter.
