Get your customized Twitter background with TwitBacks

People with a good-looking custom Twitter background have been the envy of ordinary Twitter users without the Photoshop skills to make their own. TwitBacks is looking to make those same rich profiles available to everyone. It only took me a few minutes to pimp out my Twitter profile with my very own custom background.

TwitBacks currently features six different themes that you can choose from, but promises more in the future. I couldn't get photo upload to work correctly, but I have seen other users who have been able to upload, so that may be an isolated issue. I would also like to see some more fields added for custom links and other information like LinkedIn, FriendFeed, Facebook profiles, and phone numbers.

All in all, TwitBacks is a nice little service with only a couple of little issues. I see no reason why these minor improvements couldn't be added in the future. If you're looking for a quick, good looking custom background for your Twitter profile, give TwitBacks a shot.

Thanks to Sam Sethi for pointing me towards the site.

Thanks for the coverage Harrison. We added social network links and phone # field like you requested.

Your background won't display properly on 1024x768 screen resolution.

Neat enough, but not groundbreaking. Would be good to see some custom link fields to add social networks that aren't mainstream, or personal websites alongside blog, for example.

Just wanted to give an update. TwitBacks has added a bunch more features since this review. We added a ton of different background styles, more social network links, fields for blog and website, added more customization options and even partnered with Picnik allowing you to enhance your background even more using the Picnik tools directly from the TwitBacks site.
