My name was a no brainer as I illustrate Scottish words for fun and already use stooryduster for the web address. It means a duster covered in dust and I already use it for my web illustrations.

Only thing though is I should have checked its spelling first. It should be stoorieduster.

However even though it is wrong I prefer my spelling for what I use it for.

Thanks for all the good tips. I’m just starting out.

Daniele–I agree that some Twitter names should be clever/interesting/unusual etc. I often click on names for that very reason, to see who they are, because my curiosity has been piqued. However, in my own case, I have remained as myself, Lucy Coats, simply because I am a writer and Twitter/FB fan page etc are all part of my author platform to promote my books and my profile. I think that’s true of most people with any kind of public persona. The one place I have diverged from this is on my blog http://www.scribblecitycentral.blogspot.com which is where I have started my (fairly eccentric, but I hope useful) Writing 101 Productions. I wanted a different name for that, which more closely described what the blog does and is.

Funny, I’ve been thinking about a name to site about learning kanji. I think I chose a decent one, but won’t disclose it because haven’t got that domain yet.

Hey Nate?

noun n. ( Abbr. n. ) The part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject or object of.

What’s a rocket? It’s a thing. It’s a noun. Since when is a rocket an adjective? When you say “It shot like a rocket…” you’re speaking of a thing (noun) behaving like a rocket (another thing/noun).
What’s a ranch? Again, a thing. A noun.

One more question: Why are you so angry? I mean, you’re clearly not using Twitter to promote your blog or business, like the vast majority do. Afterall, you have less than 50 followers and are following less than 50. That’s perfectly okay, if that’s what you want to do – it’s whatever. But why bash people who have successfully reached more than that, and are sharing their ideas on how others can do the same, if that’s what they want to do?

I’ll make a deal with you – YOU write up a high-quality post about why 50 followers on Twitter is just perfect, and why your username means nothing, and I’ll publish it here on TwiTip. My only rule is that it has to be a high-quality post like this one, and the others we publish here. Go ahead and submit it whenever you’re ready, right here.
