DailyTwit

Ohmygawd guess what starts in less than 4 days?

From the Twitter blog:

DailyLit is a nifty service that will deliver entire books to you over email in small, manageable bits. The idea is to read a tiny bit of the book every day until it's finished. Now, Daily Lit has announced support for Twitter.

I am now "following" three books... one, two, three. It took me far too long to find these links on the DailyLit site, but hopefully they'll elevate them more when the project actually launches.

Thanks to a Firefox add-on called Twitterfox, I have my finger constantly on the pulse of my Twitter feeds, and I've been looking for a new Twitter application (Twapp? naaaah) to reward this vigilance of mine. I just *thrill* at the idea of getting a new, ultra-brief installation of a book (or three) each day-- what a compelling idea, at least in theory.

Will it make sense in the long run? Will the book fit together cohesively in my head? (Honestly, paying that much attention to every 140 characters might make me read a book more thoroughly, in the end. Maybe.) The bottom line is that I'm just plain curious about this whole shebang.

And of course, one of the inaugural pubs is a Cory Doctorow book-- how fitting!
