Not true.

Sure, *most* short, single word or personal names are taken,

Sure, *many* short, single word or personal names are taken,

while making it easy to remember/type.

### Follow

Decide what you want to be good at (_known for_) and _follow_ all
the people who are already doing (_good_) work in that area.

Follow people you know in "real world" so you can keep in touch.

### Favourite :heart:

*Favourite* the tweets you find useful/interesting/insightful/informative,
this serves multiple purposes:
(a) bookmark content so you can return to it later.
(b) the author of the tweet/content knows it was useful so they will make more!
(c) your followers can see what you find like-worthy.

### Re-Tweet :recycle:

If you think a post someone has shared is good re-tweet it!
This has *many* positive effects:
(a) the person who posted the content will
get *positive reenforcement* (*i.e. they will make more content*),
(b) the content author might follow you back (*if they don't already*)
(c) if you consistently re-tweet useful content you will become known
for relevance in that area and more people will follow/re-tweet you!
