How to Change Your Status on Twitter
Once you sign up for a Twitter account, you can keep your friends, contacts and people you haven't met apprised of what you're doing by writing regular status updates. Changing your status is quick and simple, and you can change it as many times as you'd like, provided it appears in 140 characters or less.
