Which one is correct: I just set up my Twitter account or I just setting up my Twitter account? I need some little explanation here. Thanks.
 
The first is correct. The second would also be correct with "am" before "setting".
 
With the correction, the first talks about something in the recent past; the second refers to something in progress.
 
Yes, you're right. It should be "I am just setting up ..." not "I just am setting up ...".

ucul, please note that a better title would have been I just set up/I just setting up.
