Mashedge: The Story of Twitter: From Its Blogs

We have made a web book called The Story of Twitter: From its Blogs. This book displays the power of Mashedge in making a meaningful web book from content scattered in the blogs.

This is how we made the book:

1. First, we created a private web book with a skeletal outline of its table of contents.
2. We browsed through the blog archives from day 1 and picked articles that were significant and added them to the appropriate chapter.
3. We created new chapters on the fly as and when we needed them.
4. We rearranged the chapters into a meaningful order.
5. We added chapter summary based on the content we added to each chapter.
6. Finally, we made the book public and made it read-only.

The whole exercise took 3-4 hours and the main overhead was in selecting the articles from the archives. Going forward, maintaining the web book is easy. Whenever you come across new information, simply link it in to the book and you are done.

The reason we made it read-only to the public is to guard the integrity of the web book. We intend to transfer the ownership of the web book to Twitter so that they can maintain it going forward.

Any company, or a blogger out there can do the same thing with their content and make it easy for their users/customers to find information about their products.
