Twitter History of the World

Great moments in history are hilariously condensed into 140-character tweets in this amusing overview of historical events 75 key moments from history are picked and reported in tweets—those 140-character maximum bite-sized chunks that are so familiar to Twitter users—and anyone who has read a newspaper in the last six months—today. But this book is more than just a straight re-telling of history. . . Twitter is perhaps the most potent and versatile phenomenon yet thrown up by the web and the authors have created a fresh, hilarious, original and just occasionally (sort of) educational book which takes full advantage of the huge popularity of Twitter.
