faqs?

I've never tweeted before so this is my first time.  So please be patient with me.

I know it is confusing , but I know I'm not alone.  Anyhow here is what I've learned so far.

• Can I have more than one twitter account?

1. It appears that you are allowed more than one twitter account.  Just use a different email address.

• How long is my tweet allowed to be?

1. Your tweet can be 140 characters max.  I know this is very limiting but I think  that is the whole point of the tweet.  The first four sentences here are exactly 140 characters.  Including the spaces, 3 periods, and the one question mark.

• How long can my screen name be and do I have to use my real name?

1. Your user name can be 15 characters max and your real name can be 20 characters max.  And many sites say the user name does not have to be real.

• What is the point of TWITTER?

1. Not sure.  What is the point of anything.

These are all great questions.  If you need more help the rest are all here.
