Identifying members on Twitter
-
We are a member based company. Membership is by business not individual. So for instance if your widget business is a member anyone with a johndoe@widget.com email address can sign up and use all our content, portals, etc.
I want to take emails and figure out if they are on Twitter. I know Twitter allows you to search your contact list but this wouldn't be that. It would be a list of emails I create. Are there any tools or suggestions to do this in a efficient way besides searching each individual name on Twitter? Thanks for the help.

Hi there!
Last time I checked, Twitter didn't have an open API to allow people to search by email addresses. I guess they see this as a potential privacy / spam issue.
That means that tools such as Followerwonk aren't able to build the feature you're after.
So I think you may be out of luck on this occasion.
Perhaps a solution would be to email each of the organisations and invite them to follow you on Twitter?
Kind Regards,
Andrew

How to coordinate blog, facebook and twitter.
I have a small law firm with a website including a blog, as well as accounts with Twitter and FB. I usually write a blog on the website then reference and link to that blog from twitter and FB. I also do short blogs that are basically links to other interesting articles about my field, and link to those as well. Is this helpful or correct from he perspective of SEO for the website? Is there a particular way to do this? I have much to learn so any comments are welcome. Many thanks.

Automated twitter accounts
I have about 100 city-based automated twitter job accounts which tweet jobs as they are posted. 5 of them are indexed, but the rest do not appear in the twitter index. We diagnosed the issue a year ago because all of the accounts were flagged when we tweeted out the same message across all of the accounts. Then I made a couple of account adjustments (follow, unique description and link), and the 5 started indexing. We unfortunately waited a month and tried again, but the same actions did not lead to indexing. So there we are. Anyone have nay other advice for getting these out of the spam penalty box?
