Help with Twitter: Multiple Accounts

After twuating a bunch of Twitter names, I now have a problem of managing these various accounts. Most of these twuats aren’t frivolous. Some are experimental to see what local businesses can do with Twitter. Some are to introduce the power of social networking, and some are simply to protect a business’s twats from twuating.

So is there an easy way to monitor these various accounts for any possible conversations? Currently, I log into each account via the web to see if there are any @replies (direct messages work fine since they’re emailed). On the iPhone, Tweetie makes it convenient to quickly switch to different accounts, but I still need to manually make the switch.

It would be so much easier if the timelines of the various Twitter accounts could be aggregated into one “master” account. Logging into that one master account, I’d see the tweets and replies of that account but also all the @replies for all my other “sub” accounts. But that’s just one implementation. I’m sure there are others.

Any ideas?

Will Ginx Groups Obfuscate Fandom?

,

I’m digging the concept of Ginx groups to help filter tweets.  Basically, you establish a Twitter account and follow other Twitter users to form a “group.”  Now in Ginx, you follow that newly created user/group, and you’ll see  Tweets from all the followed members of that group.  Pretty ingenious!

So instead of you following Twitterers, you can follow the group that contains Twitter users you’re interested in.  So what’s the big deal?  Well, if you’re a Ginx user, you can use this Twitter group as a filter and hide the tweets from followed members of this group.  Why?  Well, I like AllTop and Guy Kawasaki, and did you know that he LOVES hockey!  I mean really loves hockey.  I mean really, really loves hockey.  I mean he loves hockey in an incredibad “MF-er, I’m going to cut my b@11s off, and die for hockey!” kind of way.  You get the point?  I know he loves hockey so sometimes I don’t want to see umpteen tweets that he loves hockey (or whatever new AllTop topic just launched) so instead of wading through these, I can simply hide them using Ginx groups.

So now I’m thinking, if Ginx groups catches on, will your count of followers need adjusting?  Instead of having individuals follow you, you might have a ton of groups following you, possibly reducing your overall followers.  Yet, each group might have a bunch of followers.  So how do you balance this out and not obfuscate your fandom?

Twitter Fans and Shaq Collide

, ,

These are the stories you hope to happen to you one day. Two NBA fans and Twitter users were not believers of THE_REAL_SHAQ on Twitter. Could that really be Shaq Fu or just a 5-4, 14-year old poser? They found out the Twitter way after a chance Tweetup with the Shaqilicious.

Read their story and see their pics. And yeah, blogging about meeting Shaq is good for the ratings.

Thanks to @coachdean for the lead.
