Tip: Make multiple Twitter accounts using one gmail address

You should be sharing your data viz online! Twitter is the perfect place to share your data visualizations.

What if you need to make multiple accounts on Twitter,  but don't want to create a new email address for every account?

Thankfully Gmail has secret features that most people don't know about, which are perfect for just this scenario!

Using the + sign you can make as many dummy email accounts in Gmail as you wish using one actual email address!

For example, say your email is: johndoe@gmail.com
Any email addressed to johndoe+WHATEVER@gmail.com will come to your inbox!


Say you wanted to set a different email up for various Twitter accounts, you could set many unique email addresses:
johndoe+privatetwitter@gmail.com
johndoe+dataviztwitter@gmail.com

and so on!
