 You should see the main screen with two panels. The top panel displays the social network users you are following; the bottom displays the aliases of the users who follow you. Initially these are both empty as you are not following anyone and you don't have any followers.
-To start following a user, type their name into the text box or select it from the drop-down list and click the *Follow* button in the top panel.
+To start following a user, select their name in the drop-down list and click the *Follow* button in the top panel. At the moment, you will notice that the drop-down shows only your own user because no other user has registered yet.

 We will see how we encode this in Daml in the next section.

 This is because this list is part of the user data that became visible when you started following her.
