Editor's Notes

  • #6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjA-MnqCxiI
  • #11 1 - Your Twitter name should be relevant to your name or your company’s name. 2 – The earlier you join the more likely it is to get the twitter name you want. At the moment there is over 5 MILLION users – 11 people register per second 3 - The shorter it is the easier it would be for someone to mention you in their Tweets because of the word limit. 4 - The more unique your Twitter name is the easier it will be to find it and is more likely to stand out. 5 - if your name is easy to remember they can just add it to their Tweets
