How to Block Friends Requests on Facebook?

Facebook, with over 300 million active users is the most successful social networking website. Some years ago when it was debuted, it succeeded to attract huge market because of its strict privacy options in contrast with options provided by other social networking websites.

How To Create Multiple Twitter Accounts With One Email ID

. When we try to set up a second twitter account using a single email id, twitter shows an error message “email has already been taken.“

But Twitter considers yourid@gmail.com and your.id@gmail.com as two different email ids and lets you to create two twitter ids. So by just placing a .(dot) anywhere in your email address you can register multiple twitter accounts.

Using yourid@gmail.com and yourid@googlemail.com trick

Every GMmail inbox is accessible using @gmail.com as well as @googlemail.com domains. So you can use yourid@gmail.com and yourid@googlemail.com for setting up two twitter accounts

Using yourid+anything@gmail.com trick

Another cool feature of GMail id – it allows users to add any text after a plus sign in the email address – GMail treats yourid+anything@gmail.com and yourid@gmail.com as same email address.

So you can use yourid@gmail.com, yourid+123@gmail.com, yourid+abc@gmail.com, etc to create multiple twitter accounts.
