Comments on: Staffing business Twitter accounts with multiple people http://www.unjournalism.com/2008/10/08/staffing-business-twitter-accounts-with-multiple-people/ Thoughts from the front lines of PR in the Web world. Helping people tell their stories. It's not journalism -- it's Unjournalism.

Connie: I hadn't seen the "TrackingIke" account yet. That's another great example (of both this concept and, separately, of journalists using Twitter). Mykl: As for the tools we use to access Twitter, each twitterer has his own tool of choice. We each use RSS to monitor on an ongoing basis, and I primarily use Twhirl to actually, you know, say stuff on Twitter. Having multiple people access Twitter isn't too much of an issue; the one potential problem is having User A tweet something and having three or four of us respond at once!

Not every brand or company can support lots of individuals Twitter accounts (unless they are Zappos). I love the abbreviated "signature" to distinguish each tweet author. I hadn't seen this before. I have seen the customized "hey, you came from Twitter" page popping up more and more lately. Very elegant solution in general, but really perfect for your client. It's almost like a page of author bios on a group blog. I'm curious what, if any, special tool you are using for the multiple authors to access Twitter? This is a great approach to a complex problem.

Each tweet identified the author in some way and I thought it was very effectively done. Sounds like you have given this a lot of consideration in your search to strike a balance between corporate brand and personal voice.
