Most people have more than one Twitter account, especially if they’re managing both personal and professional accounts. Why do we do this to ourselves? Because every blog, website, and brand has a specific audience. The most annoying thing about managing multiple Twitter accounts is that each new addition requires a new email address. But lo and behold—thanks to a little trick discovered by Nikki Katz, you can manipulate just one Gmail account to handle all your Twitter accounts. Here’s how:

My main email is nvkatz@gmail[dot]com. But any of the following variations will be directed to my account … nv.katz@gmail[dot]com or n.v.katz@gmail[dot]com or nvk.atz@gmail[dot]com (you see where I’m going with this). See, Gmail allows only one registration for any given username. Once you sign up for a username, nobody else can sign up for the same username, regardless of whether it contains extra periods or capital letters; those usernames belong to you.

Now go forth, tweeps, and reconcile all your accounts so we can collectively breathe a sigh of relief.
