Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is *THE* book for anyone with an idea and the desire to put it into action. Regardless of skill level, this book takes you step-by-step and explains the tiniest details of twitter and tweets.There’s not a single aspect of Twitter omitted. This book explains how to use not only the twitter API, it also explains aspects of marketing your application and maintaining your application.The code included is awesome. This book is a daily reference for me and should be yours, too!

⭐This book can be summarized in 5-10 page long tutorial. Instead, the author diverts from the topic, covering stuff like the Zend Framework, how to host your own website, how to tweet and other unnecessary BS.It gives you some nice recipes on the Twitter API, but when it should actually delve into the topic, hopefully with some basic authentication style, it falls short and instead basically hands out a 10 page long incomprehensible code of the Twitter API implemented in the Zend Framework. So if you’re not a ZF guy, you’re screwed.You can find all you need about the Twitter API on their website under “developers”. Don’t buy this crap.

⭐Great book, recommended to anyone doing Twitter development. This book is saving me a lot of time, clearly covering all I need to know to write the Twitter application I have in mind. Great coverage of the Twitter API with lots of useful examples. I’m just getting started with web development, and this book has introductory chapters that were helpful.The scope of the book was also more comprehensive than I expected, covering monetization (how to make money on your App), what makes Twitter popular and ten traits of a respectable Twitter developer.

⭐Do not buy this as it is totally out of date and does not cover any 2012 API changes. I wasted my money, do not waste yours!
