Depends... Which is a worse attack vector: a single account with a shared password, or a shared account where each person has their own personal account password?

Twitter really needs shared accounts + required two-factor for the personal accounts.

At the very least it's better for auditing. If one of your employee's accounts is hacked to send a fake tweet you immediately know which one instead of potentially having no way to know.
