Easier Account and Twitter Background Management

TwitBacks is yet again making things a little easier.  We have offered the ability to edit your saved backgrounds for a while now but we have streamlined this process even more.  Previously, you were required to save your confirmation email in order to make changes to your backgrounds.  That is no longer the case. We now allow you to setup an account and have all your created backgrounds saved under your account.  You can simply login to your account at anytime and access all your saved backgrounds.

Now you have all your saved Twitter background themes in one place and can edit them as often as you would like.

Also read about our recent enhancement that enables easier uploading of your backgrounds to Twitter

TwitBacks has made it easier to upload your backgrounds to Twitter

We have added the ability for you to quickly and easily add your TwitBacks background to your Twitter profile directly from our site.  You can now simply login with your Twitter credentials and your background will automatically be posted to your Twitter profile.  You are no longer required to download the background to your computer and manually upload to Twitter.  We have now made the process easier.

Choose the option to automatically post your background

Login with your Twitter credentials and our system will automatically post the background to your Twitter profile.

We have kept the download option in place for those of you who would prefer to download the background.  We are putting the decision in your hands

Are You Listening to What’s Being Said About You?

If not, then you should be. Our Twitter poll this week asked, “Do you use Google or Twitter search (or both) to track what’s being said about you / your brand?” Most of you responded saying that you use both, some responded that you use one (or something different altogether), and a few of you said that you don’t track what’s being said about you at all.

Keeping track of what’s being said about you all around the web may seem like a daunting task, but it’s definitely worth it! If it’s something negative, you can respond right away to give your input (and look like a hero). If it’s positive, you can bookmark it into a testimonial page, give someone personal thanks, or keep track of in some other way for future use.

To keep things simplified, setup Google Alerts and Twitter Search for keywords that you want to keep an eye on (ie. your name, your brand name, a competitor, etc.) and have them delivered to your feed reader. You can get the Twitter feed right from the search page (see image).

This way, you have everything that’s being said about you on the web delivered to one convenient spot. Monitor this sporadically throughout each day to really stay on top of your business and brand! Do you have any other tips to share? Leave a comment below to share your ideas.

And as always, many thanks to all who participated in our Twitter poll (with another special shoutout to @mayhemstudios for Re-Tweeting the question and referring the answers back to us)!
