Looking for Twitter sign up information? Don't worry, it's quick and easy to join the world's fastest growing and biggest microblogging network called Twitter. You can finish your Twitter sign up process and be up and running in less than 5 minutes - if you follow these simple steps.

Twitter Sign Up - Register Your Account

First, go to http://twitter.com and click on the "Join for Free" link that will get you started creating a new Twitter account. Once you reach the next page, carry on filling up the form. You will be asked to select a nickname or username that will be your handle or title on the service.

Here are some helpful tips to selecting your username during Twitter sign up. You can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters in your username, but cannot include any spaces in your name. Avoid using a silly or meaningless username like abc1324.

Why not? Well, even before you sign up to Twitter, keep in mind that this is a social network first and foremost. You will be dealing with real people, who want to follow or hear from someone who looks real too. A fake or crazy name or title just will drive them away.

Make Your Twitter Sign Up Authentic

During your Twitter sign up, once you type in the username you desire Twitter checks automatically to see if the username is available. If it is, then you'll see a green check mark - Congratulations! But with over 60 million users, it is possible that your first choice is already taken by someone else. In that case, try some creative combinations until you find a username that's still available.

When filling up the form for Twitter sign up, make sure you use a REAL email address that you check often. You will not receive spam from Twitter. And there are benefits to giving out your correct email address during Twitter sign up. In case you lose or forget your account password you can have it sent to you at that email address. Also, Direct messages from your friends are emailed to you immediately at this address that you submit at Twitter sign up.

So go on and fill in the form to create your account. Once you have filled in all the fields in the Twitter sign up form, click on the button to create your account. You will see the 'Welcome to Twitter' screen next, which indicates that your Twitter sign up was successful.

What Happens After Your Twitter Sign Up?

You are now officially an active member of Twitter! Your "homepage" on Twitter will be this URL - http://twitter.com/username. In this URL, username is the value you created at the time of your Twitter sign up.

You can also finish up another step during your Twitter sign up, and that is to edit your account settings. Click on the link called SETTINGS to reach this page. In your account settings make sure you fill in the following two fields:

More Info URL: If you have a website, blog or facebook page this is the place to put in your link during Twitter sign up. This link will be displayed on your Twitter homepage for people (and search engines) to follow.

One Line Bio: Type in a one line description of yourself or your business or website here. Make it interesting and catchy even if you only have 140 characters to do it. This is for human readers to decide to follow you on Twitter.

Uncheck Protect Your updates: It is best to keep this option unchecked (off) so that you can engage with others on the network. Sometimes, if you're not sure how well you'll be able to use the social network soon after Twitter sign up, you can leave it set to PRIVATE until you get more comfortable. If you turn on this option only your friends and approved followers will be able to see your Twitter updates.

One last tip for your Twitter sign up - Don't forget to click on the "Save" button when you're done at every stage!
