Twitter is the fastest way to build connections online, and The Twitter Survival Guide is the fastest way to master making the most of your Twitter experience.

We wrote The Twitter Survival Guide to provide a definitive, timely resource for people who want to get the most value from Twitter. In this 90-page ebook, we combine our insights on the deeper dynamics of building online reputations with interviews with 12 influential early adopters and ardent supporters of Twitter, including Guy Kawasaki (Garage Technology Ventures), Steve Rubel (Micro Persuasion), Darren Rowse (Problogger.net), Gary Vaynerchuck (WineLibraryTV) and Marshall Kirkpatrick (ReadWriteWeb).

The Twitter Survival Guide, co-authored by Bob Walsh and Kristen Nicole, is just that: a helpful peek into the world of Tweeting. In this e-book we cover the basics of setting up your Twitter account, and getting started with the establishing of your Twitter presence.

Whether you are building your personal or professional brand, looking for a way to occupy free time on your morning commute or staying abreast of breaking news, Twitter can be a powerful tool that leverages both online and offline communities with the unique format of microblogging. The Twitter Survival Guide will tell you about the proper etiquette that goes along with building your Twitter brand, and offers a wealth of hints, tips and tricks on how to use Twitter to achieve your goals.

Bob and Kristen have gathered the opinions of some of the most powerful Twitter users out there, through a series of interviews that bring a real sense of practicality to the analysis and advice given in The Twitter Survival Guide.

This partnership began with the publishing of The Twitter Survival Guide e-book, and will continue its evolution here on the web.

This subscription-based access to articles published on MultiSocialMedia will include a deep look at practical, personal and business use of online social media, harnessing the experience and expertise of others through interviews and guest posts. We will also address the real effects of the Internet's social climate on the online and offline spaces, as these have a major influence on our culture.
