Behold: The only Letter Username Twitter Aristocracy [Twitter]

You spot this guy? Andrei? You notice his smug face? Wanna know why he’s so smug, other than being a ” beer lover and brewer” ? His Twitter username is A. Just A. He is one Twitter’s 26 alphabetical superstars .

I’ve always been happy with my number-free email address (instead of my middle school AOL screen name, studded with numbers like sores on a leper). It’s clean. It’s minimal. It’s a sign that I got there before the alternative Sam Biddles (suckers!). ” Few things had been as lame as a username that’s too long,” The Atlantic’s Alexis Madrigal points out. And he’s right.

But these truncated tweeters-from David Bragdon (aka ” @D” ) to Zach Brock (aka ” @Z” ). Some of them are mildly Twitter-popular (ew), like Tantek ” @T” Celik, with 13,004 followers. But some of them just suck. Like @W Walter, with 93 followers. And he even put a tawdry picture of his six-pack up as his profile shot. For shame!

I’m wondering what Juliette ” @J” Melton is doing right away? Probably watching herself inside the mirror and smiling, and then staring down at her Twitter profile and smiling, and then back up at the mirror, thinking, you’re the precise, you’re just @J-you’ve done it-and then back at her profile, endlessly. That’s what I’d be doing if I were @S, not less than.

PS: BOO EFFING HOO ANDREI:
