Below are answers to some of the most frequently-asked questions about the FT’s presence on social media. We hope they help:

• What is the difference between @ft and @financialtimes on Twitter?
  • These accounts are the same – for now. People refer to us by both names, so we use both handles.
• Why do you tweet links to stories that aren’t free?
  • We have a registration model on ft.com. You can read up to eight FT articles per month for free, just by registering: http://on.ft.com/socialregs.
• Why can’t I login to ft.com using my Facebook/Twitter account?
  • You should be able to soon. We plan to introduce social sign-in this year.
• Where can I find a list of your Twitter accounts?
  • You can find a list of our official accounts – and our journalist’s personal accounts – at www.ft.com/twitter
• Why haven’t you retweeted me?
  • We stick to retweeting our colleagues but we talk to our readers using @ replies.
• I can’t log in to FT.com. Who should I contact?
  • Please message our colleagues either by email – help@ft.com – or on Twitter using @ftcare.
• I want to be part of the FT’s community and to talk to you. Where should I go?
