I think this is great idea and am looking forward to seeing work in this area. The way people expect multiple profiles or containers to interact with things like password manager or sync will also affect the architecture of the solution.
I ran a small survey on how many people have multiple Twitter accounts. The results ( https://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/view?survey=wwqcjgux42gtw&question=1&filter=&rw=1) are that about 20% of Twitter users have multiple accounts. There is definitely a need in this area!
