that was meant to be “classics,” not “classic” :/

I think the rhythm (a classic teacher of mine in high school called it A, A, A+) of the main title is perfect.

I think the part with Bozo filters sounds/reads odd..You might be able to use a concept closer to ‘horsepigcow’ to get attention, because your subtitle is perfect at communicating the theme.

(can’t wait to read it..) Good luck!

Lol, i think the title is perfect. i think it creates a bit of nod effect.

I like the subtitle, and though the title itself works for me, I think michclp has a point about shelf life.

Maybe “Lurkers, Followers, Friends” — seems those have been with us for awhile now.

A concern:

You want your ideas to have a longer shelf-life than “pokes” and “tweets.” (Not that i think those products will be short-lived, but even their own universes and jargon will evolve.).

Memes and trends come and go very quickly. You don’t want them to accelerate the loss of freshness of your book. Browse the marketing section of a(n online) bookstore. What titles still work? What don’t?

it unravels for at…and bozo filters
(maybe that is just a statement on me)

I generally like 2 or 3 beat titles – sub-titles tend to be zing more for authors & publishers than for impulse book buyers

eh, not so crazy about it. “I” get it… but not sure your main audience will. Although I do like the subtitle, a lot.
