In the Get Started section (and perhaps elsewhere, I did not check) most/all of the figures are one section / page out of phase with the text, and the figures generally are one page ahead of the text:
Examples:
section: 1.13. Key Twitter jargon: @messages
the text is about "@messages", but the figure is about "retweeting", which is the topic of the next section: 1.14.

section: 1.14. Key Twitter jargon: retweet
the text is about "retweeting", but the figure is about "direct messaging" which is the topic of the next section: 1.15

and so on.

By the way, I really like the writing for the parts I have read so far. Very clear and interesting, and it seems that you really know the key ideas / techniques that the reader needs to understand and use Twitter well.

As the other reader said. ALL of the example illos are 'out of phase'.

Instead of
(section statement)
(example illos)

...it is the other way around. That means I see a lot of pages that start w seemingly non sequitur tweet illos and then oh! the section. The annoying paging BACK to the tweets that should have been APPENDED in the first place.

In short: good info, good writing, bad example structure. Please append.
