Long story short, This twitter user has agreed to change their twitter username slightly so I can register my business name. Is there anything we both need to do to ensure this is smooth as possible. I am in the UK and this user is in Japan and we are discussing this over email through an interpreter which a 12 hour time difference. :o| I have a business and discovered my business name was already somebody’s twitter username.

Thinking of switching from yarby to jasonyarborough; which is the max 15 characters. Big jump going from a 5 character name to 15. Yeah I'm in the same boat.

In Twitter, you can never do more than 140. Twitter doesn't allow your username to be more than 15 characters. So somewhere, they're absorbing 5 characters for Twitter use. I think you're safe to make the change. I would. I did. If this helps, there are 160 available characters in a text message. In Twitter, you can never do more than 140.

I know that I have a handful of friends that I can never remember their username because it's not their name and it's some funky spelling of a word or phrase that they made up. That is the equivalent to being in the same room, but always forgetting their name because you can't remember how to pronounce it...so you don't include them in the conversation. Regarding character count, Twitter limits usernames to 15 characters. My full name is 12, so I don't think it's an issue.
