I have been considering a similar idea. Set up a second account and allow it to focus on a different niche. I was thinking of a different information niche instead of a different platform.

I like the idea of using @zapl, and I do use @steepshot. I use @dlive a little, and I don't use @dsound. It makes sense to stake out a space on each of these platforms.

I am glad to see this direction. I believe it's a good move.
