Twitter doesn't allow that many characters for a username. Even if they did, that's a lot of characters to make people type! There's 9 letters in my first name alone!

Remember though that anyone who tweets you will be using the old name so you must update everyone else you won't get their tweets. Twitter Tip: make friends :) You can have a funky user name, just put your real name in you profile settings.

I am known by name on a number of websites, in several social networks and on my own blogs, and as a writer, so it would make no sense to have a different id at Twitter.

I was wondering what I should put for the box Full name. Should I put the name of the school district in that box or my name? I might not always be with district so is it better to use an alias?

It's much better when people use their real name as twitter username, that way you know right away whom that account belongs too. Very true.

If your online for business I think it is the best way to go. Using a brand as your ID has its benefits as well but people respond best to real people (including real names) Twitter has grown so quickly over the last year that is going to be very hard for the late starters to get their preferred name. This also makes it easier to share your memorable name with others wanting to find you on Twitter. I think it is a great for personal branding for your name.
