@?

PRO TIP: Start Your Tweet with Anything But “@”
ANYTHING BUT @!Literally starting with ANYTHING ELSE will work,

4. Setup Multiple Accounts With The Same Email
Setup Multiple Accounts Using Same Email
If you have a Gmail account, it allows you to use the ‘+’ character to let you filter your main email.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
For example, my email address is [email protected].
If I use [email protected] on any website, any email sent to the ‘new’ email
would go to my [email protected] inbox!
Every social media “guru” likely manages multiple Twitter accounts. Each with its own email address. This can suck.
Try yourself! Send an email to [email protected].
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
5. Turn Off All Twitter Emails With A Single Click
Twitter emails can be annoying. We’ve all been there before. Way too many notifications.
Just turn all of them off with 1 click.Login, Go to Settings & Click on ‘Email notifications’ tab.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
PRO TIP: Keep Key Notification Emails
You May Want to Keep a Few...
Why keep notification emails from Twitter when you already get Twitter notifcations on your phone or while
Logged In to Twitter or a 3rd party client?
Better safe than sorry! The average lifespan of a Tweet is said to be 18 minutues. Best to reply asap.
