[Editor's note: For the next two Fridays, Flavorwire will be counting down our 20 most popular features of 2010. This post, which originally ran on March 9, 2010, comes in at position number 15.] OK, so you might have looked at the title of this post and thought to yourself, “How hard can it be? He’s @ConanOBrien. And he’s been there since February 24.” Well, yes. But as Starcasm tipped us off, he has also been tweeting from seven secret accounts as of late: @CoCosBeard, @ConansSharpie, @CoCosATMCard, @ConansTaurus, @ConansMonkey, @ConansFreckles, and @ConansSquirrel. A guide to Conan’s many Twitter identities after the jump.
1. @ConanOBrien – The original. You’ll find a little bit of self pity here: “I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.” And lethargy, too: “This is only my 5th tweet and I’m already exhausted. My God, how does Ashton do it?”
2. @CoCosBeard – Conan’s sexiest Twitter account is “a beard that can type.”
3. @ConansSharpie – Conan’s most “versatile” Twitter persona, he’s recently been through some big changes: “I used to jot down notes on the celebrities. Nowadays, squirrel facts and freckles.”
4. @CoCosATMCard – The money behind the operation. And connected. He’s “linked to Conan’s NBC severance fund.”
5. @ConansTaurus – Conan’s Taurus : Conan as KITT : Knight Rider.
6. @ConansMonkey – Conan’s self-proclaimed bestie. A banana lover.
7. @ConansFreckles – We’ll let him (them?) explain: “I am legion. I contain multitudes. And melanin. And, mostly, the wisdom of the ages.”
8. @ConansSquirrel – He’s obsessed with nuts and Twitter friends with Ashton’s squirrel. Inexplicably, this is Conan’s most popular secret account.
Can you believe this is the same man who once trashed Twitter on The Tonight Show? That’s unemployment for you. Also: Are you following us on Twitter @flavorpill? If not, get on that.

These are not real.
[...] Also, Conan O’Brien has been on twitter for sometime now, and apparently has multiple secret accounts. [...]
I thought these accounts were made by overenthusiastic fans?
pretty sure they are made by fans. There are many others you don’t have listed. Conanspeas. Conanstux. Conansraisinets. Killenssquirrel (to go with conanssquirrel, and the one person conan follows) conansbeard (instead of cocosbeard, which makes me believe these are just fan accounts)

You fools! They are fans! FANS!!!
The squirrel is my favorite! I love that Sarah Killen has its own squirrel @KillensSquirrel
seriously guys. these aren’t NEARLY as funny as conan’s tweets, and much less inspired. do you think conan himself would make string dance jokes that aren’t even punctuated right?
aie. i’m ashamed to even be reading this.

Aaron Bleyeart has confirmed on his blog that none of these accounts actually belong to Conan.

The only real one is the first one, @ConanOBrien. The others were made by fans.
Conan is funny, these are not. Therefore these /= Conan.
God bless Coco, but he is busy enough as it is with ONE account (just like most of us). Not sure where this blog got its ‘information’ stating that these other accounts actually belong to him.

Research? What’s that mean? Researching is for chumps! So’s verifying facts and sources! Who has time for that? Much more important to follow 1 man’s supposedly 9 Twitter accounts! Tee hee. Journalism is hard!
Yes, and none of them are funny…
they’re hilarious. shup up conanite.
[...] funny – a model of restraint. When he felt the need to expand his tweeting, he created feeds for different parts of himself – including his beard and pet monkey. Then, in a carefully planned demonstration of the awesome [...]

Yeah, definitely fake but also definitely funny.
Conan O’Brien Secretly Tweeting From 8 Different Accounts…
Thank you for submitting this cool story – Trackback from YOUR-TITLE…
You get paid for posting garbage like this?
HAHAHA Disregard that, I suck cocks.
My reaction as each player arrived on the scene one by one was, “heh heh — amusing”, & never did it cross my mind that these might be anything but playful & creative fans riffing on Conan’s daily tweets (& then on each others’ as well). It’s hilarious how this article states conjecture as fact, & even more hilarious how it’s spawning a mad flurry of links w/o any fact-checking elsewhere either. -Regarding the split-infinitive string-dance tweet, well, having grown up on Star Trek as so many have I didn’t even catch that. So as the menagerie of Conan sprites continues to snarkily tweet where no one has verified before, I’m just going to sit back & enjoy. And laugh at this comedy being enacted in its orbit.

THATS ENTERTAINMENT
Thanks for making the sincere attempt to explain this. I feel very strong approximately it and want to learn more. If it’s OK, as you reach extra extensive wisdom, might you thoughts including extra posts very similar to this one with more information? It could be extraordinarily helpful and useful for me and my colleagues.
Just right points?I might notice that as any person who truly doesn’t write on blogs a lot (actually, this can be my first publish), I don’t suppose the term ‘lurker’ is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s no longer your fault in the slightest degree , however in all probability the blogosphere could come up with a greater, non-creepy name for the ninety% of us that experience reading the content .
