I recently changed my twitter name from @daigofujiwara to @DaigoFujiso that is it a little shorter, fixed to upper-lower case (before it was all lower) easier to reply and retweet. After all, In 140 characters limit, difference between 14 and 10 is pretty significant. Fortunately, Twitter allow you to change this and still remember all the replies and mentions. Not perfect, since search results and most external websites and links pointed to the old account, but a useful blog posting had a very good suggestion to just get that old account and pointing to the new one, instead of “the account does not exist” error.
