Fried Twitter Tales
Tim Fargo & Others
Twitter is very simple. Twitter is very complex. Both statements have an element of truth. The mechanics of tweeting are very simple. But understanding Twitter and using it in a meaningful way is more complex. It’s dictated by the intention of the user and their goal or aspiration.
Whatever it is, Twitter means different things to different people. When Tim Fargo first had the idea for Fried Twitter Tales, it centered around a pretty basic premise: If there is a reason why to do something, the how gets sorted out.
There are a number of books on how to use Twitter. Many of these focus on various aspects of the mechanics, with some discussion of why. Fargo wanted Fried Twitter Tales to be pretty much entirely about the why aspect of the platform. Thus, the Savory Tales of Connection part of the title.
