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.

Is the snow at the top of the page supposed to fall? By dynamic is it an animated gif, or just dynamic on reload? I kept waiting for the snow to fall.

You might benefit from buying tweak.io in addition.

A video or screenshots would be nice.
