Q&A for How to Make a Twitter Account

Use your business's name as your Twitter username. If that name isn't available, add an underscore, or try shortening parts of your business profile.

Keep your username as close to your real name as possible if you'd like to maintain your own personal brand and identity. If you'd rather stay anonymous, create a handle based on your passions, interests, or something else unique to you.

When you log into Twitter and press "Sign Up," you have to give them either a phone number or an email, as well as your date of birth.

Yes, this is possible and okay to do. However, you can only be signed into one Twitter account per browser at any time. To make more than your current account, you can “Add an Existing Account” from your profile icon. Once you have more than one account, you can toggle between your different accounts using a long-press on the profile icon, or switch between accounts from the top menu.

Twitter is a form of social media and networking that allows you to share your own messages, read other people’s updates and keep informed of current news items and happenings. Twitter works by leaving short messages known as “tweets” with your followers, and in turn you read the tweets of persons, celebrities and companies of interest to you. Twitter is a useful way to find recent information quickly (such as during emergency events), keep updated on your favorite people’s movements and stay connected with people and issues you care about.

This is really no different than requiring any online writing to be interesting and engaging. Clever or engaging tweets seek to capture people's attention and thus are more likely to be shared around by followers and others beyond your own followers. What is and is not clever is very subjective, however, and really there is no need to try to make every tweet clever or quote-worthy; Twitter is what you want it to be and unless you're doing marketing for your own or a company brand, it's less important to be clever than it is to connect with your crowd in the way that works best for you.
