You can and you will dominate Twitter if you follow these guide lines. Break them and you will be cut off.
MySpace and Facebook make money by selling advertising on the site. If you’ve ever been on either site, you’ll see many ads across the top of the page or in the margins. Facebook also sells e-gifts (or they did at one point) that users can send to their friends.
Twitter doesn’t have advertising, so I’m not sure, at the moment, how they earn money. I know that it has been a criticism against the site from those saying that they’re limited in their long-term success, considering they have no way of paying back investors at the moment.
I am a bit of a shy person so my first instinct would be to use the business name. The purpose of having Twitter is to build up a list of followers who I can hopefully convert into blog followers for my business blog.
Which should I choose?
If increasing brand recognition is vital to your success, then setting up a Twitter account using your business name may be more beneficial.
It is possible to set up two accounts - one with your business name and one with your personal name - but it might not be easy or advantageous for you to monitor both.
You also mention that you are shy. This is another indication that a Twitter account set up with your business name may be the better decision.
Good luck, and learn all about the business side of Twitter through the link below to create a great experience for your followers.

In this video, I describe an Adobe Air application designed to enhance your Twitter experience. The name of the application is called DestroyTwitter and you can download it at http://www.destroytoday.com/projects/destroytwitter . The description on the website reads: “DestroyTwitter is a robust but compact Twitter application built to run on Mac, Windows, and Linux using Adobe AIR. It consists of a series of canvases that constantly update to keep tweets current and up-to-date using notifications that appear immediately after a new tweet arrives. DestroyTwitter also features complete direct messaging functionality. Messages and tweets can be replied to with the original visible for quick and easy reference. A search function is also available to track anything that’s being talked about.” I’ve found that DestroyTwitter is a good compromise between Twhirl and TweetDeck. It provides a single pane interface with visual notifications, but also is flexible enough to have a 3 pane interface. With DestroyTwitter you seem to get the best of both worlds. This demonstration aims to show the major features and preferences of the application. As a TweetDeck user, I found myself missing features such as TwitScoop integration, multiple search panes, and better filtering. If you can live without these features, you should consider DestroyTwitter over TweetDeck. As for Twhirl, DestroyTwitter lacks multiple account, ping.fm, seesmic, identi.ca, and friendfeed support. If Twhirl could get DestroyTwitter’s UI with all of its features, it would be a force to be reckoned with. DestroyTwitter does Twitter and does it well, so if you in the market for a new Twitter client, give DestroyTwitter a try.
