If Facebook is the dinner table with your family and friends, Twitter is a rousing bar. Most people choose to leave their accounts public, though. With a private account, only the people who you've given permission to follow you will see your tweets. Turning this setting on means you will have to manually give permission to anyone who wants to follow you if you'd like them to be able to see your tweets and communicate with you. If you'd like to make Twitter a place where you privately interact with friends, just set your account to private. However, you can easily make your own private experience. Remember, everything on Twitter is public by default. There is also a handy spot to list your website, if you have one.

This is the short blurb that lets potential followers know who you are and what you're likely to tweet. You may wish to list where you work, live, or a line from a favorite poem in your bio. Be sure to read Twitter's rules for avatar images to make sure what you pick is not in violation.

You can update your header photo from this place, too. Just click the silhouette and head to "Profile" and then click "Edit Profile" on the right underneath the blue bar. The default picture is a silhouette, but you can make your avatar whatever you want (your face, a dog on a skateboard, the possibilities are endless). Choose something you like that you think isn't taken, but also something easy to remember for others. That will be your username, or handle, and people can notify you by typing in front of your username in a tweet. Step 5: Once you're in, click on the grey silhouette next to the "Tweet" button on the top right of your screen, and click "Settings & Privacy." At the top, you can pick a username you like.
