Use a Short Twitter Username
My last tip is use a short Twitter handle. Tweets are only 140 characters so when people are replying to you, if you have a longer name, you leave them less room for message content. Twitter limits your username to just 15 characters for this very reason.
That concludes this tutorial!

Hi Steph. Thanks for this training. I just recently opened my twitter account and managed to be able to use my name with an underscore at least. This was really helpful in terms of understanding how Twitter works in the whole SEO process. I didn't know this so thank you very much. Ange

Very good lesson. I actually have a Twitter account, but have not used it for a very long time. I may have to reconsider that now.

Very timely lesson because I just happened to sign up for twitter today.
My nickname locally in the bottled water biz is Water Dude so I'm TheWaterDude@TheWaterDude1 for a lack of something better....I might change it if I can think of something else.
You're right about the 15 characters though...I wanted it to be my website but it is way too long for Twitter.
BTW if anyone wants to follow me I'll have 1 follower!
Thanks Steph!
