Your Twitter name should always be your own name/brand name (and shorter versions where necessary). Anything less, and you’re just asking for trouble.

It depends on the person on how they will deal with their usernames. For me, its better to choose a username where you can easily be identified.

[...] Regardless of your plans, your choice of twitter name is an important one. Of course, Twitter names can be changed but depending on the size of your network, it could cause some confusion – assuming the name you want is even still available. I changed my Twitter name after being online for about 4 months, thankfully it was not too terribly complicated. And it turns out I made the right choice. [...]

Jack, interesting. I attend meetings where we all write our twitter handle and our names on the name badge. People definitely recognize me by my twitter handle http://twitter.com/fairminder.

I have thought seriously about switching to jimspencer and have opened the account, but I kind of like the name fairminder and other people have said that they do to.

So, while I may not agree entirely with your overwhelming endorsement of the name change idea, I appreciate the benefit and have reserved my name and continue to enjoy using fairminder.

Great! Thank you!
I always wanted to write in my site something like that. Can I take part of your post to my site?
Of course, I will add backlink?

Sincerely, Your Reader

Jack – I originally had “@BayAreaMortgage” and then added 3 others. By far, the best thing I did was settle on my name, @MikeMueller

As a matter of fact in every Soc Med profile, I go for MikeMueller first, or an easy to identify derivative if that’s not available.

This isn’t AOL. That cute screen name (as in LonelyGirl15) you had on AOL isn’t going to work for the modern day real estate professional.

* and no I never had that screen name – if I remember right mine was “passmethepuck” :)
