Twitter’s limited customization abilities are a good thing, many would say, and lagging traffic numbers on sites that allow free-for-all customization (such as MySpace) might just support that belief. In any case, Twitter does require Tweeters to think outside the box if they want to stand out. And just as with everything you do with your business, it’s important to make an impression.
Some of the best Twitter pages, as you would expect, are those of designers, graphic artists, and the like. But you don’t have to be a creative type to make a cool Twitter page. With the abundance of customization tools out there (we’ve listed a few below), it’s never been easier to strut your stuff.
Here are a few Twitter pages that have made an impression on us…
