Great article! I’m also doing that and it’s really helpful in my business (affiliate, microstock, programming, …)

Great article. I’ve actually been thinking about this the last few days. I already have a “business” brand if you will, but I want to start creating something that’s more me so I can talk about more stuff than just my niche.

Hit the mark. Spot on. Thanks a lot.

I have two accounts as well, one for personal, and connects to my private facebook page, and an account for my business, which connects to my blog and linkedin.

If you want to keep them separate, try letting your followers know that for professional ‘tweets’ you’ll be on the other account.

I use http://www.flavors.me to create my site: brandonklein.com

Easy to use- allows people to see what I want them to see and helps with google rankings. I use specific keywords like facilitator to also help get the right people to my site.

Having two Twitter accounts makes sense if you have clear and distinct reasons for needing two (e.g. one is for your web design company to engage with customers and the other is for you to talk about baseball and jazz music with your baseball and jazz friends). Or if you want a separate protected one to be a little more off the cuff with a chosen few.

I’ve seen lots of people who have a professional account and, in their bio, say, “I tweet about my personal life at @username” so it’s definitely not unprecedented. It allows you to focus and build more targeted audiences.

If you think it through and you really don’t have clear and distinct reasons for having two accounts, then merging may make sense.
