Multiple Accounts in TweetDecK: Retweet or Mirror Your Posts

On Monday I got called out for mirroring a post on my personal account (@DuaneBrown) to my agency account (@CreativeHQ) by @malcolmbastien. He felt it wasn’t very creative of me. You can see my response here. This got me thinking all week. If I had simple retweeted my post, instead of mirroring something I felt both groups of followers would have enjoyed.

Would reteeting the post given it more credit?

Is retweeting really the better and more creative way to go?

In the end I don’t think so. Whether I retweet somehing from one account to another or mirror a couple tweets, the same end reult is reached. I’m providing a link or tweet that I think my followers would enjoy.  I know the gang over at @CriticalMass retweet back and forth between their agency acount and their personal accounts. They are a bigger shop and different people help manage their agency account. I’m just a one man shop today and this is the most effective solution that still provides the same end result.

Also I don’t think the area is so black & white, there are totally shades of grey and I want to explore those shades to see what happenes. You can’t learn something if you always play it safe. That’s my take on it anyways.
