Hey Twitter power users: have you figured out what makes people follow? I see so many tweets going ultra-viral, from accounts with just a few hundred followers. I would think with many thousands of engagements more of them would convert. So if not engagement, what does work?

I experimented quite a bit with my bio. It's easy to rewrite my bio so it will attract followers much faster than my current bio. But the bio I have seems to do a better job at getting the followers I'd enjoy knowing myself.
Bios I like - and will instantly follow - convey optimism, curiosity, and are both unique and genuine expressions of who the person is. Perhaps a third of the bios on this list https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/lists/tomorrow/members … have that character.

Hah, want to critique my bio??

It's a bit of a generic laundry list. The most interesting bit to me (if I hadn't heard nice things via friends-of-friends!) would be the bit about history and anthropology, juxtaposed with the tech. But there's nothing unique in the bio.
