I've been thinking about this for a while (ever since I split my Twitters). I don't technically hide either of my Twitter accounts from the other, but I do try to keep them discrete, even if I'm not always discreet about it. It's entirely reasonable that someone following me for my "pro" account would have no clue about my "fan/personal" account (which is also a pro account, since my identity as a PW reviewer is a part of it). And vice-versa.
[OTOH, even as I am, well, not always civil on the Tsalmoth account, I'm aware that people at work or in my professional community could see that behavior (and without following me or otherwise making me aware).]
The point being, I definitely have two different Twitter "personalities," neither of which is a false one.
I have a lot of thoughts also on Twitter as long-form, especially since people Storify things so well, and others so poorly, and how RTs play with long-form, and goddamn it, what's wrong with blogging (and how exactly does Medium get credit for being anything but a blog anyway), and a whole bunch of others. Alas (as you can probably gather from my tweet-to-blog ratio these days), finding time to tease those thoughts out has been tough.
