And so begins a new feature that I call Ask A Reid, where I answer questions from people I know about the dorky-but-useful stuff on the interwebs, and put it here for other people who may want to know the question/are bored and will read anything.
Question: i know you operate different Twitter accounts - are they all linked to the same email address? can you link more than one twitter account to the same email address?
Answer: Well, you can't do multiple Twitter accounts with a single email address, but there's an easy way around it: Gmail lets you filter emails just by adding a plus sign to your gmail username. So you could sign up for one Twitter account with fakeaddress@gmail.com and another with fakeaddress+twitter2@gmail.com. You can put whatever you want between the + and the @. That works well for filtering newsletters, too.
But I use a different email with each account anyway. I have multiple emails and when you buy a domain, you can do absolutely anything as the username in an email address and it'll go to one email address. But that's another discussion for another time.
