Twit Rapper: Obama Online

Twit Rapper was created as a spin-off from my Book Rapper book summaries. Book Rapper summaries take a leading business book and redesign it so you can read it in about 30 minutes. Twit Rapper takes these summaries and redesigns for you to read in FIVE minutes. They’re a series of 26 tweets in a animated slideshow format. And, they demonstrate how content can be formatted in multiple ways.

  3. Provide the tools to let your grassroots community create and share content.
