But it is your Profile name that appears in bold above your tweet. Right? So whilst I had my business name as @businessname, I was using my own name next to my image. THAT is where I also want my business name. Having just changed that profile name to match the business in the last hour, is there any downside. Lost of followers, replies, links, history?   Hi.

For example, "@myusername How's it going?!?!" If I changed my username to @NEWUSERNAME, will those tweets and mentions be updated to "@NEWUSERNAME How's it going?!?!"

Also the new twitter name/handle will become your new login - so you should update HootSuite and other 3rd party apps.

For example. I have created one column to follow certain stream, if the person changes her or his name, that stream with that name wont work. I think is a huge risk changing the name.
