This review is from: Getting Started with Twitter For Dummies (Kindle Edition)

There are few things more irratating than being told that Twitter is so easy that you do not need to read a book about it! Sure, it is easy if you know how to do it. For those of us, however, who were busy raising these Twitterphites, a book might be helpful after a "lesson" that left us felling like we were listening to a foreign language. Dummies Books are a tradition for me. When I do not "get it," I am not embarrassed to admit that I am feeling like a dummy and these books really help.
