All change with Twitter

I’ve recently given my Twitter account a re-think and now what was originally a Twitter just for my own personal use with a mixture of affiliate/netbook/football and personal followers has now devolved into two.
It used to be known as Twitter.com/Harriers9. I then thought it would be good to have a Harriers Online Twitter to go with the Harriers Online Facebook page that was relatively popular. That Twitter account was set up a few weeks ago, Twitter.com/HarriersOnline, and it took off straight away with plenty of followers although I did have a good session following other football Twitterers in an attempt to populate mine.
Then I had another brainwave and thought why not have a Twitter page for Your Netbook.
The problem here was that before the recently updated Tweetdeck it wasn’t easy to have multiple Twitter accounts let alone three. I found that when I was logged into my personal Twitter account and saw a good football related one I’d click on ‘Follow’ and then realise my mistake that it wouldn’t actually show up on the Harriers Online account. Durrr!!
As I said I didn’t want a third account but accepted that my personal account wasn’t really getting used properly so I investigated changing that into the Twitter.com/YourNetbook version. I just couldn’t believe how easy it was and how very strange that you could change the Username, the login email address, the password and the colours to make a totally new site but keep all your followers. Not quite kosher really.
Anyway it took all of ten minutes to transform and mutate from one to the other. I told a few followers that it had changed but the rest probably don’t even realise yet.
It couldn’t happen with Facebook.
As an aside. Last week the KHFC Official site also set up their own Twitter and Facebook pages. Lol or what.
