Thanks David, that's pretty handy.

I'm experimenting with Twitter for our Library & you've given me a few thoughts to ruminate on.

I'm off to find some appropriate background images...

If you have a blog, create an “About” page that is just a landing page for Twitter users who want to know about you.

Then you can expound a little more about your Twitter policy – your routine – and your expectations.

That tends to relieve a lot of the ill will that develops when one person assumes THEIR ideas of Twitter etiquette should be everyone else’s, and becomes offended at some breach of protocol.

Here’s my example, steal what you like: http://occamsrazr.com/twitter/

right, but if a library could display the headlines from its blog, calendar, new titles from the catalog, etc. directly on the background (the way you can on a Windows desktop)…now that would be cool! Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to make that happen.

Jenny – you CAN put extra links in the bio part of your twitter account, over on the right hand side of the page. Mine’s a good example – I link to my videoblog in addition to the website link provided above the bio.

So you could dump RSS feeds, other URLs, etc there…

It’s too bad there isn’t a way to display an RSS feed as part of the background image. Displaying contact info in the image itself, though, is a great idea for libraries. Thanks for highlighting that, David.
