I don't think that tweets and twitters are of much use in determining the overall merit of a book.
It tells you that someone or many someones liked the book, or the author and his relatives stay up all night and tweet.
I can tell what is popular generally by reading the various bestseller lists or going to a drugstore.
I want to find books I would enjoy possibly based on books I have enjoyed or based on genre or somebody stating a reason that they enjoyed it. I read books in most genres, and a sincere I just like these books will often make me read one. To me tweeters and twitterers are much like the names imply, tweeters and twitterers. They have a right to be heard perhaps, but actually listened to by me is not likely to happen unless there is a blackout for my best friends football game and he wants a play by play
