Now that you’re all set up, let’s get into some advanced Tweeting tips and
applications that can really power your Twitter usage up.
Twitter Backgrounds
We discussed earlier about setting up your Twitter background so that it didn’t
just look like the default Twitter page. Leaving it like that shows a lack of care
on your part. You need to distinguish yourself from the crowd and that attracts
more followers, or at the very least impresses people with your
professionalism.
Now if you’re a bit of a Photoshop whiz, then you can do your own
background, full of bells and whistles and load it up to your Twitter profile. But
if you’re not, or you just want to save time, then there are some sites out
there that will do them for you automagically. To find these sites, the best
thing to do is to simply Google “twitter backgrounds” and you will find quite a
few sites offering this service for free.
My personal favorite is Twitbacs at http://www.twitbacks.com where you can
get some great backgrounds.
However, that said, if you want to do your own fiddling in Photoshop, you can
get some great layouts in PSD format from http://www.twitterbacks.com/ Read more... (921 words, estimated 3:41 mins reading time)
