#NEWBOOKONMYDESK: @sree's collection of tweets about new books

[ shortcut to this page: http://bit.ly/sreebooks ] Since Dec. 2009, I have been tweeting about new books I buy (in print or Kindle form) and those that just arrive in the mail. Here's my collection of those tweets (still adding the older items). [If you have a book to send me, Prof. Sree Sreenivasan, Chief Digital Officer , 205 Low Library, Columbia University, 535 W. 116th St, New York, NY 10027] Coming soon, what I've learned about social media and the future of books doing these tweets and from working with my author friends. My CNET News blog on social and digital media: http://cnet.co/sreetips Comments, questions? sree@sree.net or @sree on Twitter
