Your personal settings and notifications

Twitter allows you set a variety of personal settings. In this episode we'll show you how to change notifications, how to enter your real name, change your user name, set your time zone and more. Adding a little bit of detail about yourself makes it easier for other Twitterers to know whether they should follow you.
