How to access/view Twitter accounts without opening a Twitter account.
If you’re not interested in following lists, or bookmarking searches, you can still find information from your favorite authors or speakers on Twitter without having an account—provided the person you want to view has a public account.
To read a public Twitter account, go to Twitter.com and search for the person’s name or email address, if you have it. Or, if you have the person’s account handle, for example @OrangeLeaders, simply add /OrangeLeaders (removing the at-symbol, @, and replacing it with a forward slash, /) to the end of www.Twitter.com. To go to the Orange Leaders account page without having an account, in your browser’s URL address bar, type www.Twitter.com/orangeleaders.
