"Twitter Wit" is the first compilation of Twitter aphorisms, with submissions ranging from quotidian vignettes like 'I bet in Sweden the Ikea instructions are in English' to bumper sticker-type quips like 'I think the bird of love is the dove. My husband thinks it's the swallow,' and contributors ranging from celebrities like Shaquille O'Neal, Jimmy Fallon, Penn Jillette, John Cleese, and Steven Fry to regular people with previously unappreciated sharp tongues. Featuring a foreword by Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, this authorised anthology of the thousand most clever and memorable 'tweets' relates the diversity of human experience in hilarious bite-sized pieces.

"A whimsical collection of the best tweets so far, pithy posts that say a lot in 140 characters or less. " -- Associated Press "No matter your opinion of Twitter, you can enjoy some laughs in these 140-character (or fewer) communiques from hundreds of folks, compiled by techno-smartie Douglas." -- Sacramento Bee "Douglas has collected 158 pages of proof that some of the millions of typists on Twitter are laugh-out-loud funny. A few are masters of compression, able to illuminate our common humanity in a couple of lines of text. String enough of them together in the right order, as Douglas has done, and you've got a crowdsourced replacement for David Foster Wallace, without the too-long-didn't-read factor." -- LA Weekly
