I glanced at a a couple of books the other day and misread their caption line as “Facebook of Dummies” rather than “Facebook for Dummies”. Even Twitter doesn't escape this tag. I guess, as I look deeper into the meaning of the English trying to express itself through this caption, it seems impossible to take my interpretations away from how oblivious social network users have become to their own relationships “as dummies” to these inapproachable systems which conjure myriads of useless pieces of information and try to make intellectual or sensible conclusions using the human. Sadly, most humans are dummies, wandering in their oblivious toil which clicks a mouse to speak as the cursor caresses the face and profile of another dummy. So, all you dummies out there, waiting for your mouse to tweet, remember that it doesn’t, it just clicks. Oh! Did I say tweet? What a dummy I am, I mean "squeak"!
The correct names for the books are the following:
