I've updated the profile description, but there's only so much you can add in 160 characters. Hope its' a bit clearer now. Thanks again. Thanks Jennifer.

I was interested enough to come here to look (and am about to follow you in return). Recommendation is to make it clear that there is a person behind this, or ongoing updates. I initially thought you were marketing spam to get me to sign up to an app. So, learnings from this: a great description can help!
