Okay, kids, school the lunatic old guy on Twitter (please?).

I need help with Twitter. I want to start an account mostly to promote our business (http://www.mooresensible.com) but I'm completely clueless. I'm not even sure how I should sign up. The first thing it asks for is "full name" and that's where the confusion starts. Already... right on the first box on the first page.

 

Is whatever I enter as "full name" going to be my Twitter handle (I'm not even sure if "handle" is correct), or after the "full name" portion will I be allowed to choose my handle (if handle is even correct)? Oh dear God, I'm already starting to hyperventilate.

 

The full name of the business is Moore Sensible Products but that won't even fit in the "full name" box. I think I'd like my Twitter handle to be @mooresensible.com and I think that would fit. I would be open to suggestions on the handle if what I'm thinking is somehow wrong. I just don't want to do it wrong, and then be unable to start fresh because my email address would already be associated with the wrong entry. If any of you could walk me through the signup I think I might be able to dope it out from there and I would be extremely grateful.

 

I do have a Facebook page set up for the business and it seems to be going along alright. (Woah... and lookey there, I made that a working link, all by myself.) But, I would really like to try and use Twitter to my advantage.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you enter your full name it will be the name that shows up above the @.

 

So you can just promote your business both ways if you want to. Just put like Moore Sensible in the Full Name box and then Moore Sensible Products in the username box. That would make your handle @MooreSensibleProducts. And you can always edit this stuff later without having to create a new account if you don't like it.

You can do what trwi7 said or you can just sign up for a business account: https://business.twitter.com/
