I prefer to keep a single account for my business and conversation. This serves me good enough basically for 2 reasons. 1) My business reflects my personality and vice versa. I prefer to keep them intact and synergetic
2) because I don’t tweet every second of what I am doing. I prefer to keep my followers informed about latest trends, technology and tips in my profession. I try to limit conversations (interesting or informative to others) with my friends. If they get to personal conversations, I switch to D msgs.

I use # tags to log tweets relevant to specific topic like #blogtraffic. To do this, i create a tweet channel for the topic through http://tweetchannel.com and prefix tweets relevant to the topic with #channelname. The logged tweets can be found at the http://tweetchannel.com/channelname . This saves me from managing multiple twitter accounts.

The only disadvantage of having one account is, I get a little conscious about my tweets because I pull my tweet stream RSS to other social profiles.

If I had more businesses in non-related fields, I would create a different profile for each field.

Thanks for visiting! It sounds like you’re right on track. That’s the whole thing with this social media stuff – try it, tweak it, learn.

I guess I never liked the automatic post-to-Twitter tools, due to their impersonal and generic footprints. However, an RSS feed makes perfect sense for a broadcast account.

Actually, I post so seldom to my broadcast that Twhirl has been sufficient. However, as things ramp up, RSS will definitely be necessary.

Cheers,

Already we’re starting to see some smart and effective use of dual accounts, however, and you have capped it off with sound reasoning here: changed my mind completely! I think this works very well if

(a) a clear connection is made between the two accounts – and reiterated occasionally, perhaps, for the benefit of new followers -
and
(b) the motives are pure,
and
(c) the Twitter user has a clear vision of which account is for what purpose. (Don’t want to muddy the communication waters, right?)

Thanks for laying out a workable plan!
