The Ten, Make That Nine, Habits of Very Organized People. Make That Ten.

Just finished reading Steve Martin's new book, The Ten, Make That Nine, Habits of Very Organized People.  Make That Ten.  Just that title should be enough to make you laugh and want to read it.

If the title isn't enough, then how about this:  It's a book of some of his tweets over the past year, and it takes less than an hour to read.

Anyone who follows him on Twitter know his tweets usually come in bunches, over the course of a day, typically on a single event or topic.  You don't need to be a lifelong Steve Martin fan like me in order to appreciate how he uses social media for both his own enjoyment, and the enjoyment of others.

Here's an example of a stream of his Tweets from the book, about the iPhone:

"A watched iPhone never syncs."

"My iPhone is now lip-syncing."

"iPhone just synced perfectly with toaster. All is well."

"iPhone and computer heading off to hotel spa for leisurely afernoon sync. Back in 4 hours, they said."

"iPhone and computer came back from spa with DIFFERENCT DONNECTOR CORD. Is something going on?"

Now that's tweet comedy!
