Use One Email Address with Multiple Twitter Accounts I have two Twitter accounts – @allin1web that I use for writing personal tweets and the other account is @abcxyz where I tweet about free ebooks.
If you are like me and have multiple accounts on Twitter, you are probably aware of the fact that you cannot associate the same email address with multiple Twitter accounts .
Try that and Twitter will throw up an error saying –
“Email has already been taken”.
There’s however a simple workaround that will let you use the same email address with all your Twitter handles – the only condition is that you should be
using a Gmail or Google Apps email address.
In Gmail, you can add a dot (.) anywhere in the username and all emails address to that new alias will still reach your mailbox. For instance, if your original
email address is hello@gmail.com, any emails sent to he.llo@gmail.com or he.ll.o@gmail.com will land in your mailbox because Gmails ignores periods in the email username.
And that’s what you can use to trick
Twitter. Twitter will consider hello@gmail
and he.llo@gmail as two separate and valid email addresses even though they point to the same Gmail Inbox.
Another Workaround
When you open an account in Gmail, you automatically get another valid email address that uses the googlemail.com
domain.
So if you only have two handles on
twitter, you can use the gmail.com address with one handle and the googlemail.com address with the second handle.
