Pimp Up Your Tweets

For anyone who's a Twitter fan, I recently read an article on how to Pimp Up Your Tweets. Here's the article:

Speaking of Twitter, recent research has shown that the actual web site is still the most common method for people using Twitter (have they yet to hear of Tweetdeck?). So, for those tweeters among us, it's still important that you create your own Twitter background to help define who you are on Twitter.
An example of a suitable background is @sitepointdotcom. The page is well branded, with design elements that visually explain what they do and the topics they'll be tweeting about. An example of a very average background would be my own -- @milesb -- where I've just tiled a small background.
So, you're sick of the default Twitter backgrounds and want to pimp up your page? You'll find great inspiration at these places:
