On Facebook you need to add this application and download the plug-in.

If you want to be like everyone else then you indeed can change your background on Twitter using the methods mentioned above.

For my @BodyByChocolate account I use this following free service.
===> http://mytweetspace.com/
Here is what that looks like
===> http://twitter.com/home

Other sites that you might consider using for your Twitter background include.
===> http://www.twitterimage.com/
===> http://theclosetentrepreneur.com/create-a-twitter-background-using-powerpoint
===> http://www.twitbacks.com/twitbacks-gallery.php
===> http://tweetstyle.com/

While your considering your options for Twitter Backgrounds be sure to check out the TwitWall as it allows you to ad larger articles, videos, graphics & more.

Here is what my TwitWall looks like

And here is where you can setup your own TwitWall acct from

Hope that helps. If you have additional questions just drop me a line at Guy@BodyByChocolates.com

You can have your own Facebook skin.
The downside is that only you will be able to see it.

The upside is that it will make your Facebook experience that much more pleasurable.

Here's how to do it...

Firstly, it only works in Firefox. Internet Explorer does not have this feature.

If you do not have Firefox already, you can get it for free here: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

Once you have firefox, you need a Firefox add-on called STYLISH.

You can get that here : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

Click on 'Add To Firefox'.
When it's installed, close Firefox down and then re-start it.

The final stage is choosing your Facebook skin.
There are loads to choose from.
They are here : http://userstyles.org/styles/site/facebook.com

The latest ones are at the bottom of the page. Most styles have been updated for the latest redesign, but, some may not have been.

Choose one you like, and click on 'Load into Stylish.

You can change your mind at any time.
To choose a different one, in Firefox, click on Tools -> add-ons, then click on the 'Options' button for Stylish. Uncheck the style you have added, then go back to http://userstyles.org/styles/site/facebook.com and choose a different one.

While Twitter lets you choose colours/backgrounds, you can add a Twitter background using Stylish as well!!! The Twitter ones are here : http://userstyles.org/styles/search/twitter?category=site
