How to Have Nicer Twitter Background with No Cost

Twitter gains it fame since the US election back in year 2009.

I have my own Twitter account and I always wanted to have a nice background for my twitter account. But I just never took action to improve it. Before I came across Twilk, this is how my Twitter Background looks like – with me standing next to a Porsche. It really looks unprofessional and not catchy.

Now with Twilk, I can take advantage of the ‘professional’ background that they provide.

Twilk takes your Twitter followers’ profile photos and puts them on your Twitter background. You can choose between people you follow and/or your followers. The more you interact with someone, the more prominently they are positioned. Those whom you mention more about user name in your tweeter feed will appear on the first two columns on the left, from top to bottom, left, right, left, right.

How does the name of Twilk come around?

The name Twilk is a combination of Twitter and milk. Milk has nothing to do with the service other than the creator of Twilk really likes milk. It helps that the domain name is short, and was available.

SO instead of getting a designer to come out with nice background for your tweeter account, you can always go for Twilk. It is free to use. But you can always upgrade to paid account and enjoy special features like:

No Twilk Ad: the Twilk logo won’t show up on your background
Daily Auto-Updates: save time by letting us update your background for you
Upload Custom Logo: to have your background stand out and look more professional
Exclude People: if you don’t want competitors showing up
Feature People: to show how much they mean to you

But for me (a layman in graphic design), as long as the background looks nice to me, I am happy to go for the free package. And that is how my Tweeter Page looks like now:
