Tweetbook: Publishing Your Tweets Into A Book

James Briddle has published his 4100 tweets (posts on Twitter) in a 270 page book, "My Life in Tweets." The book covers his tweets from February 2007 to 2009. He has also provided the script he used to download all his tweets from Twitter.

My Life in Tweets.

In case you are wondering what was his motivation?

When Twitter is inevitably replaced by something else, I don’t want to lose all those incidentals, the casual asides, the remarks and responses. That’s all really. This seems like a nice way to do it, and I’ll probably do it again in a couple of years time.


I think it's a very neat idea, even though I doubt I have the patience to read someone's 4100 tweets in a book. However, I think many people will follow this and soon we'll start seeing tweet stands which will just carry books and magazines containing tweets :)
