Twitter & Facebook Offline - Thai Technology Books
There are an enormous number of books dedicated to technology and the internet in Thailand.
This is down to the combination of most of the web being in English and a lack of widespread English reading across the country, although fluency levels are greater in larger cities like Bangkok.
The current trend is towards popular websites and social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. Books may be able to explain the basics of the internet but, with their time-consuming process of production, a book is no match for the constant evolution of technology and the web.
Books on the shelf today have no reference to major updates and issues such as Twitter Lists, Twitter's new services for business, Facebook's updated privacy settings (revised 9 December 2009) or Google indexing of real-time search.
Here are a few examples including Gimp, a book which refers to the GNU Image Manipulation Program, of course.
