Twitter Background Roundup: 5 designs to Tweet home about Customer Blog

In the span of a stunningly short period of time, the role of social media pages has morphed from a supplementary marketing tool to a must-have for any business endeavor. Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn have become essential ways for businesses looking to build, support and actively engage their target audiences. And while it used to be just fine to stick with Twitter’s generic blue-clouds background, for instance, nowadays incorporating your brand identity into your social media profiles is key.

Our minds are a-Twitter these days since we recently hit a milestone in surpassing 60,000 followers on our main Twitter account (of course, we’re aiming for 99,000!) and just launched a Twitter account for our 99nonprofits initiative. So we thought we’d share some of the cool Twitter background designs other companies have sourced through 99designs. What do you think – will these designs help our customers put their best foot – err, Tweet – forward?
