I think you'll find that Twitter has said repeatedly that this is not an appropriate reason to create lots of accounts, though they'll make exceptions if there's a very good reason. Seems to me that you might be able to accomplish your goal with hash tags, but that means that the "followers" would not follow them in the usual way, but would subscribe to a service that filtered by hash tag. If hash tags are going to survive and prosper, it seems that clients would do well to allow them to serve as filters (only show me tweets from user X with tags [a, b, c] or never show me tweets from user X with tags [a, b, d]). That sort of thing. Nick
