'One Million Tweeps' book project to put Twitter on coffee tables

Todd Bishop

You may have heard of "One Million People," which aims to capture the faces of the Facebook generation in a book. But why not Twitter? Two devoted Twitter users from Seattle are aiming to rectify the situation with their own project, "One Million Tweeps."

Launched yesterday by Ludo Antonov and Arianna O'Dell, the initiative "was created to highlight the vibrant nature of the increasingly growing and active Twitter community," according to an announcement. Individual Twitter users can add themselves to the book for free. Businesses and public figures will be charged $5 per photo tile, with the ability to span multiple tiles if they want.

The word tweeps, for the uninitiated, is Twitter lingo for a person's followers. O'Dell says they're talking with potential publishers, and final pricing for the book has yet to be set.

Read the FAQ on the project here, and follow One Million Tweeps on Twitter @1milliontweeps.
