without a doubt they attract more followers. This is what helps you stand out from the competition ;)

Jalvini2300, nice backgrounds help bring attention to your twitter profile, but people will "unfollow" you quickly if your tweets don't have value to them. 50 people follow me this weekend, but I only followed the ones with good tweet streams.

You know I think my background is really boring! I might have to look into doing something with it! Thanks for the heads up Ileane!

I have already commented on your blog, but here it is again for those who have not read it over there. I really don't think twitter backgrounds increase your followers. But it does give them something better to look at. But be careful, some of these twitter backgrounds can be really painful to the eyes

Robert, thanks for stopping by my blog, leaving the comment and for your support!

I always think that a personal twitter background always helps you stand out from the millions of standard twitter backgrounds and it does make your twitter page look much more professional and personal

I have links to some gorgeous free twitter backgrounds in the post that people are taking advantage of.
