Don't lose those Twitter handles you forgotten about
If you're anything like me, you may have registered Twitter handles for different projects in the past, and some of them you might have long forgotten. Twitter is set to release inactive handles, so if you keep those handles it's important you take action now.
Here's what you need to do:
-
1
Search your email archive
One of the easiest ways to find out if you have any inactive Twitter handles is to search your email archive for any welcome emails from Twitter. To do this, you can use the following search query:
subject:"welcome to twitter" from:twitter.comThis should bring up any welcome emails that Twitter has sent you in the past, which should include any handles you may have registered but forgotten about.

Send a tweet with your inactive handles
Once you've found any inactive handles you want to keep, it's important to send a tweet with each of those handles. This will help to show Twitter that you're still using those accounts, and it will prevent them from being released.
