Why I chose Twitter for my Book Review

Image from http://www.barnesandnoble.com/

For my book review, I chose Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. Blink is about the brain's ability to 'thin slice', taking meaning from small portions of important information. I chose Twitter to communicate my book review because it is the social media that is a constant stream of thin slices, 140 characters to get your point across, 140 characters in which to get the gist of what someone is trying to communicate. This is thin slicing at it's core and hopefully I will be able to communicate through these thin slices the main idea of this book.

Top 5 Twitter Feeds That I Enjoy On a Daily Basis (in no particular order):

1. Entertainment Weekly @ew: I was already a big fan of the website, so following them on Twitter was a no brainer. I was made aware of this very funny video of the cul-de-sac crew of Cougartown playing a celebrity wine tasting game. Very funny, see the video here.

2. Women's Health Mag @ womens health mag: Great articles and information on exercising and health issues. Some of the best healthy recipes, like this.

3. Epicurious @ epicurious: I am semi-obsessed with food. I absolutely love to eat and cook. Epicurious tweets amazing recipes like this one. I haven't attempted it yet, but definitely will someday!!

4. Time.com @ time: I am following a variety of news outlets via Twitter, but I enjoy the Time tweets because I find this fun on my lunch break.

5. Jimmy Fallon @jimmyfallon: Love his show, but faithfully go to bed by 10pm. So when I saw this tweet -- Slow Jam the News with Brian Williams tonight!! #springsteenonfallon -- I knew to run over to Hulu to see my favorite newsman slow jam with The Roots.

So that is my top 5 for now. It seems to change day to day as the list of people and places I follow grows. Who do you have Twitter love for??
