<title>Author Sells Book Inside Twitter Stream</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright  wp-image-62026" title="twitter_avatar" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/files/2012/12/twitter_avatar.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" />Would you buy a book on Twitter? One author is experimenting with <a href="http://chirpify.com/" target="_blank">Chirpify</a>, a way to buy and sell goods without ever leaving your Twitter feed.</p>
<p><a href="http://socialtimes.com/david-wolman-chirpify-sell-book-in-stream-on-twitter_b112520" target="_blank">SocialTimes has the scoop</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Starting today, <em>Wired</em> contributing editor <a href="http://www.david-wolman.com/" target="_blank">David Wolman</a> is conducting a 4-day “experiment in barrier smashing” to see if he can sell his new book, <a href="http://chirpify.com/listing/55q"><em>The End Of Money</em></a>, on Twitter. To buy the book, readers hit “reply” to a specially coded Tweet with the word “buy” in the text to enter the payment system and download the eBook. Is Twitter a viable platform for selling goods? The microblogging site didn’t make a single dent in Black Friday sales, which collectively drew only 0.34 percent of referral sales and 0.84 percent of referral traffic from social media sites overall, <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/twitter-blackest-friday_b31718">according to a study</a> by IBM.</p></blockquote>
