Go Tweet Yourself

Go Tweet Yourself: 365 Reasons Why Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and Other Social Networking Sites Suck, written by Janelle Randazza, is a humorous book about social networking and how social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace have become an online trend. This book literally gives you 365 reasons why these social networking sites suck and how they changed the users into "monsters." The book heavily empathizes how the users of these sites become too indulged and start to live in the virtual reality rather than living life like a normal human being. An example from the book would be how there is now a virtual golfing game on Facebook; as if golf was a sport that made you sweat, now you can play it sitting on your ass the whole time.

Randazza makes very good (although harsh at times) points on how these social networking sites change us in a bad way. I thought it was funny because I agreed with more than half of the things she points out, although I'm a user of Facebook and Myspace. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who take the internet seriously. Most people who find this book funny would probably be laughing at themselves.
