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
