Single-Name Social Media Handles Are Totems in the Tech World - WSJ.com
Man, it’s apparently a lot easier to get a single-name Twitter handle than it has been for me to get rid of one.
It’s helped me to A) have used “Spytap” since I was about 13, and B) that it’s not a real word/name. There are a couple networks wherein I use “Barrett” because I can, but for the most part - even when Barrett is available - I feel more comfortable with Spytap. I think of it as something akin to my “nom de net.”
