Found at the library! A children’s book about Twitter?

Billy Twitters Children's Book

Billy Twitters Book

I was strolling through the children’s section of our local public library, and I spotted the spine of this book on the shelf. I thought, “is that really a kids’ book about Twitter?!” and grabbed it to take a closer look. As it turned out, it’s not a book about the Twitter “fail whale,” but a story about a boy and a whale.

Still, I thought it was pretty funny, and worth sharing. If you’re familiar with Twitter and the infamous “fail whale” that is displayed when the service is unavailable and/or over capacity, you will appreciate the humor in the coincidence.

    LOL LOL LOL – that is so cute and funny! I’d tell my grandkids but they don’t get my Twitter love. That’s OK, tho, coz we have plenty of fun with their Webkinz stuffed (and virtual) animals online instead. :) Hmmmm, wonder if there’s a Webkinz whale!!!! – oooh – I checked, there is, too cool! :) Have a twitterific week!
