1) The Tao of Twitter by Mark W. Schaefer ($10.43 for a paperback)
2) Twitter in 30 Minutes by Ian Lamont ($9.49 for a paperback)
3) Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal by Nick Bolton($12.99 for a paperback)
Narrowing them down...
World Cat:
1) The Tao of Twitter is held by 250 libraries worldwide.
2) Twitter in 30 Minutes is held by only 8 libraries.
3) Hatching Twitter is held by 647 libraries worldwide.
World Cat suggests that Twitter in 30 Minutes is not very popular, and I am disqualifying it for that reason.
Google Books:
1) The Tao of Twitter has 0 reviews.
3) Hatching Twitter, however, had 20 reviews on Google Books and received a 4/5 star rating.
I am tentatively choosing Hatching Twitter, pending the results of my Library Thing search results.
Library Thing: actually didn't have many results for books containing twitter. None of my books were available there.
The winner: Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal by Nick Bolton

The book title you chose sounded really interesting so I researched it further and that sounds very fascinating. People always associate Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook or Microsoft with Bill Gates, but the face and name of twitter is generally invisible. Jack Dorsey is in fact, NOT invisible and is incredibly relevant it's just surprising to me that the general public has never really heard of him. It'd be very interesting to hear his rags to riches story.
