My comments:
The twittering crowd is comparable to people who used to be called the chattering classes. Chattering implies, of course, that what they talk about is not always important or sensible – and they probably twitter too much at any rate.
Therefore, if you listen to what the twittering crowd has to say, you won’t be getting sound, insightful and wise advice.
Hence the need to rise above the twittering crowd – stay above it, do not get distracted and, hopefully, you’ll make better sense.

This year’s best business books on marketing — all from veteran practitioners — rise above the twittering crowd by delivering the kinds of insights that make for compelling listening.
