Hotmail & Twitter question

[tbert118]

Anyone know if there is a way to have multiple hotmail accounts and multiple twitter accounts open simultaneously on my computer. Like I want to have multiple hotmail accounts open on the screen on different tabs without having to sign out of one account to sign into another. Is there a way to have multiple accounts open simultaneously like that so I can toggle back and forth between them without having to sign out and sign in of one to get to another? Same question for twitter as well.

You will have to use multiple browsers. Although IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari allows for multiple tabs but the way those browsers handle authentication only allows for one authenticated session per browser of the same ip address.
So if you want multiple accounts to sign in on Hotmail then you will have to use different browsers. If you have gmail accounts you can manage multiple accounts from one central account.

you don't need multiple browsers, don't listen to that guy. you just need to open a new page not open them as a tab. i do it all the time. have 1 page for one account, another page for another account and so on.

IF I understand you correctly then the number of accounts I can have open at one time is limited by the number of different browsers I have on my computer correct? In otherwords if I have 3 different browsers on my computer (netscape, firefox, IE) then I can have at most 3 hotmail accounts open at once (one on each browser). Correct? As far as Gmail goes what do you mean by manage multiple accounts? Does that mean I can link hotmail accounts to my gmail? Or does that mean I can have multiple gmail addresses within one gmail account?

does not work. Had the same issue. only way to fix it was to use multiple browsers.

You can have multiple gmail accounts and can enable manage multiple accounts.

if you are still using IE 7 or earlier browser then you can open multiple windows.
If you can always enable email forwarding on your accounts but then all out going email will be from one account.
