After I wrote the blog entry How to create follow me on twitter image/logo with photoshop on my other techn blog I saw a healthy increase in the twitter queries from google and other search engines. Among them one query which I noticed everyday was as simple as that, “What is the size of twitter display image” and I wondered why don’t people get that ?

Anyways the twitter’s display image has two sizes 73 x 73 px and  48 x 48 px. The one on your homepage i.e. twitter.com/username is the one with 73px. The other 48px one would appear in the time line. For instance my profile’s 73px version is here . So if you open it in the intelligent browser firefox then you will see the size in px written in the title bar. For the timeline picture i have this screenshot, just to suffice you

Hope this bring google queries in the right direction and helps someone :p

Cheers!!

I use twitter actively and with the handle realin.Well here are few things which i think can be  done using twitter .

1) Social Networking Follow Follow Follow a lot interesting people, or whatever you can think of. You think of a product, be it wordpress, techcrunch, gigaom,digg you find all of them on twitter. So that way you directly know what is happening on their front.

2) Updates about the rest of the world Almost every news channel or media agency is on twitter today. So they flash news everytime they update it on live television or on their websites. So when you are away from your TV and are lazy enuff to scroll through RSS feeds you can rely on twitters.

3) People spread the word Retweet is the other name of fire in the forest. If there is something really big or important, like mumbai attacks in India 26/11, everyone was getting updates on twitter. People do it using the hastags like #mumbai, #FAIL etc

4) Jobs and other business opportunities You are able to meet genuine people over internet around the world using twitter. They definitely are of any use at any time in your professional or social life. Like i am getting married and many event organizers have contacted me using twitter. Other than this once in a month i get a job offer or a freelance work option using twitter. Its like easiest way to outsource work to india now. You do not need to login into any job sites or stuff.

5) You are not bored at all This is the best thing !! With twitter  you are never bored, because somewhere someone is tweeting around when you are feeling bored. So its kinda miniblog + Chat  + Social networking.

I feel twitter is the best thing happened to internet. At first I thought its just like other social networking sites like orkut, myspace, facebook, but guys its really different and you will love it.

Applications i use to access my twitter account

Twhirl -the social software client

Twitterfox – mozilla firefox addon

I am also planning to create one app for myself, lets see when i get time to do so

Cheers!!

When i heard about getting money outta my twitter account, i first couldn’t believe. And when i saw its demo then i thought its a bad idea and wont work. But i always wanted to be the one who tried the stuff on first hand. So i tried this Magpie thingy.

Well it actually works and you can actually control the rate of the advertisement and it can also depend on your approval whether you want it to display the add or no.

I know that is kinda making the things go filthy, but that is kinda good as long as your followers number do not decrease

Cheers !!
