I’m not considering a change of my Twitter account, as I’m using my surname all over the place and the only person it ever conflicts with is my brother. Â But I’ve heard of people trying to rename their accounts or re-brand their activity on Twitter, so I think is article – How to change your Twitter username – is useful.
Here’s a synopsis:
- create a new Twitter account with a @JunkName handle you don’t care about
- change your @OldName account to @NewName, keeping your followers and tweet history intact (releasing your @OldName into the wild)
- use the new Twitter account you made to quickly grab @OldName before anyone else has a chance to take it
One thing to note: Because of the way Twitter handles conversations, changing your username won’t retroactively change @mentions directed toward you from other people. This means that people you’ve conversed with will seemingly be talking to a ghost at @OldName instead of you at @NewName. Considering the “in-the-now” nature of Twitter this isn’t really a showstopper, just a mild inconvenience that’ll lessen over time.
