Does capliazations in url effect ranking?

I've read the info about how Twitter's bad seo effects ability to rank well for our twitter profile in some cases.

I've been unsuccessful at getting my twitter profile to rank higher than it does, even though all metrics on OSE seem to indicate that it should.

I've been linking to the non !#, non https, and non www, version of my profile, however it still is ranking as high as I'd like. I noticed today that the link URL has each letter of my name capitalized. I'm almost certain when I link to it I write out the name in all lower case.

I was curious if you think this has any effect on it ranking? I'm wondering what the best steps would be moving forward. I could start linking to the url showing up in google (with upper case letters in the url) or I could go into my twitter profile and change my name to all lowercase and see if that changes the url in google, thus fixing all of the other backlinks to the profile. (At least I think it would.)

What's everyone's thoughts on this? Thanks!

My real life experience has shown me that the uppercase and lowercase have no effect on ranking. However, given  a choice, i would go with all lowercase as that seems to be the standard.

Intresting.

I know that searching for upper case and lower case keywords do bring up different results. But that is keywords, I wasn't sure how url's were effected by upper / lower case.
