You Can Turn Off All Twitter Emails With A Single Click

When you join Twitter all the emails you receive can be a real PITA, and it seems

like a month doesn’t go by without Twitter adding yet another email notification

to its roster. Thankfully, you can turn all of them off with a single click: simply

log on to Twitter.com, visit your profile settings and click on the ‘Email 

notifications’ tab. From here click on the ‘Turn off’ button to disable all email. Nice!

You Can Setup Multiple Twitter Accounts Using The Same Email Address

This one’s a real time saver. When you setup a new account on Twitter it wants

you to use an original email address – that is, an email that isn’t in use anywhere

on the system. If you work in a business or agency that manages lots of Twitter

profiles this can be a real pain. Thankfully, there’s a fairly elegant way around it.


This tip requires you to have a Gmail account as your main email (or, at least

access to a Gmail account). Most people don’t know that Gmail supports the use

of the ‘+’ character to let you filter your main email. You don’t have to do

anything on your Gmail account. All you do is add the ‘+’ and another word

after the first part of your email address – the part before the @gmail.com – and

you can use this as a “new”, standalone email address around the web. Here’s

the sweet part: all emails sent to this “new” email will still go to your main Gmail inbox.

For example, if your email address was johnsmith@gmail.com, if you use  

johnsmith+twitter@gmail.com on any website, any email sent to the latter

would go to your inbox (johnsmith@gmail.com). Gmail knows that the

part before the plus symbol is your username, but Gmail understands the

part after the plus symbol, too.


If you use Gmail you can try this yourself now – fsimply send an email to  

yourusername+whatever@gmail.com, where yourusername = your Gmail username.

(You could even use the word whatever if you wanted!)

Now you can go ahead and use yourusername+twitter@gmail.com for a new

Twitter profile, even if yourusername@gmail.com is already in use on Twitter.

You could also set up Twitter profiles using yourusername+twitter2@gmail.com,

yourusername+clientname@gmail.com, yourusername+facebook@gmail.com, and so on.

Even better, you can configure Gmail as usual so that it filters and labels these “new” email addresses however you want.

press”, which, when checked, allows you to force-kill the current foreground application 

by long-pressing the back button. Useful if you frequently use an app that’s a bit flaky, 

but watch out: some apps use a long-press of the back button as a shortcut for another 

feature (for example, it shows the History in the default browser).
