Hi William,
twurl is designed for inspection, one off queries and debugging of API
issues. It isn't really suitable as part of an application and rapid
switching of the default account may, as you have suggested, not work
well. Instead have a look at the single token examples on the
developer resources site - they may be better suited to your needs.

Hope that helps,
Matt
