My Twitter Accounts

I have a wide variety of interests, and I write about many of them, as well as discussing them on-line.  Between that and very high volume of messages in my primary Twitter account, @yatpundit, I've set up multiple accounts, so that if folks want to avoid the volume or political remarks in @yatpundit, they can follow one of the others to keep up with me on the subjects that interest them. 

So, here's the run-down:

@YatPundit - my primary home on Da Twittah.  It's expensive to follow this stream, but it's how I do things in the 140-character world.  @YatPundit makes it clear that I'm very liberal in my political and social views, and I make no bones about that (but I do try to warn off those who aren't interested).  Entries from YatBaazar.com (which is also www.yatpundit.com), as well as re-tweets from the other blogs come from here.

@YatCuisine - food tweets, NOLA stuff, and general conversation.  It's hard to separate New Orleans and food, so there's crossover between @YatPundit and @YatCuisine on local subjects.  No politics here, though, unless it's somehow directly related to food (like the laws proposed to lower salt content in food, etc.)  Entries from my YatCuisine blog (food.yatpundit.com) get tweeted from here.

@YatTravel - My work as a computer trainer and consultant has taken me literally all around the world.  I'm a "platinum" frequent flier with Delta Air Lines, so I'm on planes and in airports and hotels a lot.  I write about the "road warrior" experience, as well as post photos from sightseeing excursions in other cities.  Entries from my YatTravel blog (travel.yatpundit.com) get tweeted from here.

@CanalStreetCar - Streetcars, history, New Orleans stuff (non-political), transit issues, preservation, and related topics.  Entries from CanalStreetCar (dot com) and New Orleans Street Railway Association (NOSRA) get tweeted from here.

@EdwardBranley - I took ownership of my name on Da Twittah some time ago, but have never really done anything with it.  I've decided to move my computer/professional tweets and discussions here.  I've long wrestled with trying to keep work and personal/politics stuff separate.  We are so apolitical in the Storage Area Networking industry, mainly because SAN customers run the gamut from big corporations to mid-range and small nonprofits.  The technology rarely intersects with politics-when it does, however, I consider it fair game.  I've just never been uncomfortable doing three or four politically-charged tweets on @YatPundit, then turning around and re-tweeting one of the bloggers from Hitachi Data Systems, or another storage/computer vendor.  This account is my solution; entries from Seashell-Software.com and Linux-Blog.com will get tweeted from here.  I'm also going to re-tweet SAN and other uber-tech stuff from here. 

@Yatmedia - this is a team account for our social media consulting firm. Both myself and Greta Perry (@kissmygumbo) tweet from here, and articles from Yatmedia.com are tweeted from here.

So, that's how things will break down.  Feel free to follow/unfollow these accounts as you will.  I take no offense if someone drops @YatPundit because of the volume or the content.  Please consider one of the "subsets" if that part of my multiple personality existence interests you.
