You know something has gone mainstream when....

...there is a rush to publish real books costing real money to the masses.

They’re no Strunk and White, but Dom Sagolla and Adam Jackson are aiming to do for Twitter what “The Elements of Style” did for good writing on paper: outline elementary rules of usage, composition and grammar....

.....

The two expect the book to be available for download on Apple’s iPhone by the end of the month. Although the plan is to eventually get a version of “140 Characters” in print, Mr. Sagolla said releasing the book through iTunes first would be a good way to reduce the need for a major investment upfront, as well as a springboard to attract interested publishing houses.

So, what is the barrier to entry on this gig? I'll tell you after I've written "The Broadstuff Guide to Twitter" tomorrow
