I totally agree about not branding oneself. It might look incredibly stupid someday.

I've already written about how I did this on my blog. It turns out that it's not possible anymore. Read the details here:

Dayane, really appreciate you leaving such a thoughtful comment here.

I've always wondered what it's like to have a username that is short and commonly referenced in tweets. You are incredibly lucky to have such a succinct username that is both a common word and a shortened version of your name! I bet that you've had some interesting experiences at networking events when people ask you what your handle is.

More people are going to be signing up for Twitter and the good usernames will really begin to stand out in tweets. Here's to hoping the spam @ replies stay away!

Hey Justin, thanks for leaving a comment.

That is very interesting to hear your experience with your username. I am aware of a few "holistic healers" on Twitter and bet that you get a few that follow you because of that.

Looking at your profile page, it looks like you have a wide variety of topics that you tweet about. Do you focus on any one topic in particular?

Hey Forrest,

Some great points there. I can't tell you how annoying it can be to have those 15 character names to write to and my msg is then short by like 5 characters.
I thought I'd share with you my experience in having a short twitter name
Having @day (which is also my nickname) has it's benefits and shortfalls. Benefits include being easy to tell people what my twitter name is and then it being easy for them to remember, it's short so it allows for more msg space and my friends don't have a hard time finding me.
The biggest downside is that there are people on twitter that abuse the '@' symbol, and 'day' is a common word as well. So my replies 'box' is filled with messages from people who aren't actually mentioning me, or people who mistype 2day (while mistyping today anyway). Trust me when I say, that can get quite annoying.

But it's all worth it when people say, “You're @day? How did you manage that? That's awesome! So easy! I'll remember that.” hehe

Some good points in the comments too.

Hope you all have an awesome day!

@day
