Can you have more than 1 Twitter account

Like one for business and a personal one. I mean without using someone else's computer or something underhanded?

That sounds like some pretty frantic twittering.

While we ban people from this forum for having multiple accounts on here, rest assure, we won't ban anyone for having multiple twitter accounts.

I think he didn't mean if he would get banned on this forum but on twitter's site.

I know.

I've got two accounts on twitter. I got one in a made up name, and then a few months later used a different email address to reserve my real name.

Still u'mming and ah'ing about whether to change my current account to my real name as think that would be better long term. Just a bit of a faff.

What's really surprising me is that on my real name account I've not made a single tweet and yet have 20 followers! Huh?

So yes, so long as you use different email addresses, you can have as many accounts as you like on twitter.

But like Plays with Life said, that's a lot of twittering (or is that tweeting - I'm never sure).

Heh, that's interesting. I wondered about that. I created an account so I could check something and in 24 hours, I had 3 followers. I wonder if they are spam bot or something.

I might start a twitter account (with the purpose of using it). I keep thinking of things I'd like to broadcast, but not necessarily do it on facebook.

Lol! They're fluttering around in excited anticipation of your tweets!

Hmmm, I now have 5 people in my twitter account in which I have never posted. Yet you Holi have 20 people following your account that you've never posted from! Tell me, what is your secret in getting four times as many followers as I have, despite the fact that your output is exactly the same as mine .

Better pheromones!

That's so funny Seeker5

So I went to have a look at what was going on: Rather odd.

On my non used twitter account I'm following 20 people and I'm pretty sure I didn't follow any of them intentionally. How would that happen? Also I over sold my followers and am currently being followed by 18 (I've been dumped!)

Also I've just realised I had made 1 post, which was a link to an article about how to change your twitter name so that it was in a handy location when I needed it. So my output was 100% greater than yours!

I went to your twitter page and saw that I was already following you, but you were not following me-- twitter name-- whizkid7. So do you have to use a different email to get a 2nd twitter account like someone mentioned? Shouldn/t twitter have a FAQ that answers this question.

Yes you can. Like you can have multiple email accounts. Personally I have one Twitter account and that's quite enough, thank you.

I may set up a business only Twitter account later on.

I'm still not convinced of the Twitter value and I notice that lately I hardly tweet or read others' tweets. I guess I find it too intrusive. Email and blog allows me to set my own pace and focus.
