Using an underscore won’t hurt you, but be aware
that it generally is never done and you’ll be at risk of
seeming unaware of the “Social Norms”
We recommend that you personalize
your profile
The next step in the Twitter setup
process will ask you to check if any
of your email contacts are already
on Twitter. This is not a required
step, so feel free to skip it if you
desire. That said, if you have
Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL or
LinkedIn accounts, you can check
to see if anyone you know is
already signed up for Twitter, which
can be useful when searching for
people to follow.
If you do decide to check, be aware
that Twitter will ask if you’d like to
invite these contacts to Twitter. This
will send a message to all your
contacts. Only do this if you want to.
• Using your real name on Twitter helps
you look like a real, authentic person if
someone stumbles upon your profile
