Are you serious about books and publishing? Then you owe it to yourself to be on Twitter

Like a great cocktail party, Twitter provides an unparalleled networking opportunity: connect with the right people, participate in the best conferences and events, and hear about the latest industry news and trends...first.

Twitter is about more than what you ate for breakfast
Between the endless media hype and non-stop celebrity tweeting frenzy, it's easy to be skeptical about Twitter.
Not everyone wants to tell the world what they're doing at any given moment. And most of us have no interest in listening to the unfiltered thoughts of b-list celebrities.
Fortunately there's a lot more to Twitter than answering the question "what are you doing now?" (and you're under no obligation to follow Ashton or Britney).
Twitter power users:
- Network with their peers.
- Stay current on the latest industry developments.
- Follow conferences and live events like BEA, TOC, and SXSW as they happen.
- Participate in interesting group discussions like the Twitter Book Club and Follow the Reader
- Use Twitter's real-time search for research, technical support, and information on a wide range of issues.
Best of all, real people just like you use Twitter to meet interesting people and make new friends.
The problem with Twitter
Twitter is the world's fastest growing social network, but it's still largely misunderstood and misused. Despite Twitter's apparent simplicity, it isn't always easy to understand what Twitter is or how it's supposed to work.
As a result, most people miss out on the opportunities Twitter offers. Some people avoid Twitter altogether, while others sign up for the service, quickly abandoning it after failing to grasp the basics. It's an unfortunate missed opportunity.
The only thing worse than wasting your time on Twitter is not using Twitter at all.

Testimonials
Don't take our word for it -- here is what previous Booksquare University graduates have to say about Tweet Camp:I began Tweet Camp as a total Twitter rube, and within one week of easy to follow instructions and excellent navigation tips, I was up and running with ease. This is a must-do for anyone planning to open a Twitter account, but would also benefit current users.
- Stephanie Feagan
Tweet Camp was a quick and easy way to get right at the heart of understanding Twitter and how it could best work for me. Being able to work at my own pace and discuss questions and issues with those who had similar goals on the site made the experience helpful without being time-consuming. I "got it" right away!
- Leigh McDonald
Tweet Camp provided a great introduction to Twitter. It provided me two things. First and most importantly, this training showed me the benefits of Twitter and the best way to use it in my professional and personal life. Second, this training showed me how to setup my login in Twitter. I was up and running in minutes and happily twittering. I would highly recommend this training for both the beginner and expert alike because of the depth of the material presented.
