Review: The Beginner's Guide to Twitter by Mike Cliffe-Jones

This is a review of Beginner’s Guide to Twitter -eBook by Mike Cliffe-Jones (known as MikeCJ). I first got connected to Mike through his blog and a coaching course we both took.

Be a Social Worker, Not a Social Notworker!You are social notworking when you’re spending time unproductively on social-networking websites like Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. The term social notworking is specifically used when one is using social network site while one is at work or one should be working.
