Tweakio is about helping individuals and companies/brands
embed dynamic content into their Twitter background, viewable whenever someone hits the standard twitter.com/username page.<p>Today I'm releasing a teaser theme called "Friend Tree" which lets you put a tree on the left hand side of your Twitter page and decorate it with photos of friends.<p>Sometime next month I'll launch the rest of the service. It will include themes that change with the time of day, change with the local weather, showcase recent twitpic/yfrog photos, etc. There will be some stuff for businesses/brands, too.<p>Thanks for checking it out HN! Would love to hear any suggestions you might have...<p>EDIT: Here's an example of what it looks like -- <a href="http://twitter.com/fpotter" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/fpotter</a>
FWIW, I'm not a big twitter user, I don't use a single twitter "app", but hey this is pretty cool and its extremely digestable. I'd imagine a lot of people would want that cute tree on their page, just depends on how easy it is to get it running. The concept is good though imo, good job!<p>Also the main text on the page is kind of hard to understand. It makes sense now that I saw your example page, but "dynamic twitter theme" didn't really do anything for me immediately. Personally I would put something like: "Finally! Custom twitter backgrounds!" That sounds kind of myspace-y which is a good thing imo because any idiot can use (and understand) myspace. "pimp your twittaaaahh" - ok just kidding about that last one.<p>So overall, your app lends itself to the "show, don't tell" mantra more easily than most.
Some cosmetics: Possibly move the "Get your friends at tweakio" only shows up correctly without being clipped in a exact resolution, a better option would be to move it to the left side. Another is on the home page, the background doesn't repeat so looks off on screens wider than 1600px.
