Why I Have Two Twitter Accounts
Why I have I got two Twitter accounts? What's the difference and what it means to you (if anything!).
@joel_hughes is my personal account - it's the account where I first got to grips with Twitter - hence why it has more followers and tweets than my business account. On @joel_hughes I tend to tweet about the following things:- developments in social media (techy stuff, the details, the under-the-hood stuff)
- developments in location based services such as foursquare
- web development stuff
- this blog*
- some weets/retweets relating to @jojet
- family & photography
- misc/random On the other hand @jojet is my business account - here I am a lot more focused here on tweeting information which is useful to folks who may not be so tech aware. I also use this account to promote the workshops, training and seminars I run. The @jojet account is focused on South Wales businesses and beyond.
I do retweet items between the two accounts (when it makes sense).
Now there may come a day when there is only one account - I don't know - but this is the lay of the land at the moment.
So, the different accounts will suit different folks. There is no need to follow both (as any overlap could be annoying for you) - unless you want to of course! It's up to you :)
...I'm sure your Bank Holiday Sunday is richer for knowing this! ;)ps *there is also a Jojet blog but I am decommissioning that in favour of using this single blog platform. It was too much hassle to run both (more hassle than running two Twitter accounts).
