Making More Of Twitter
Whilst on a voice conference, I got a little bored and started looking at everyone’s twitter pages and noticed that nearly all were exactly the same. This is most probably as most people use TwitterFox or something similar to follow other people, and TwitterBar to update their own status (unless you’re mobile twitter).
Although big brands such as Ford, British Airways and BBC are on Twitter, their pages are some what uninspiring. Not much effort or thought has been put into the Twitter Backgrounds and Starbucks simply stuck a coffee cup on the side – job done!
Your Twitter page is the first thing anyone sees. Maybe not so important for personal Twitter followings, but if you’re using Twitter as a form of social marketing, then maybe some time and effort should be spent personalising or treating it as an extension to your website?
It really doesn’t take design skills to knock up an appealing background. Any old package can transform the plain blue background to one that’s a bit more exciting, personal and says something about you.
