Lazyweb request: Does anyone have any ideas for how to run two Twitter accounts through one cell phone using just text messages? I know I can do it through email or on the web on the phone, but I really want the instant, push notification that SMS provides. Help me, Lazyweb!

Try some of the Twitter applications that are around (have a look on the Twitter site at some of these). I know for example that using TwitPics to post images sets up an individual email account for your images to be sent to (which then links to the Twitter account of your choice). I haven’t tried it yet as I only set it up yesterday but in theory you should therefore be able to use the same phone for numerous accounts as they are sending them to different places and are not linked in to a phone number.
Also try ping.fm although I haven’t experimented myself yet (on my to do list) so not sure how effective it will be.
Good luck!

FYI
I just came across this on the Twitter FAQ (http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/14014):
Can I use the same phone number on multiple accounts?
No. You can only use one phone number for one account.
There might be an app that can do this, but I haven’t come across anything like it yet.
