Leave a reply

InstaBG is the newest and most innovative way to create a more interesting background for your Twitter account. If you personally love Tweeting or you are an internet marketer who uses Twitter for your IM campaigns then it is quite likely that you would be interested in gaining more followers. Having a personalized background on Twitter is like giving your account an edge over your competitors. The more interesting your Twitter page is, the more people will see you as someone worth following. Twitter does not actually allow you to grab and upload your instagram photos, but third party software such as InstaBG does.

I’ve used InstaBG for quite a while now and I am still amazed by what it does and how it helps make my day on a daily basis. InstaBG does not just allow you to grab your instagram photos and upload it into your Twitter page but it can actually change these photos every day automatically. Why is this beneficial? Well, for the reason that people would actually see different images changing as InstaBG changes them and your followers would think that you are always available even if you’re away for a vacation. Plus, it gives you a sense of uniqueness. This is especially beneficial for those who like to take photos and show it to the public.

InstaBG also allows you to customize the size of the photos and how you want them to look like. You can upload several photos at a time. You can customize their background colors, spacing and lay out. InstaBG is the next big thing on Twitter. Make sure that you’re the first one to use it.

Authors who are actively using LinkedIn have something to rejoice. This is because the top professional networking site has allowed the publishing articles on the platform. In addition, LinkedIn members can choose to follow the content of their favorite authors and writers.

Right now, this publishing feature is limited only to the so-called most influential thought leaders on LinkedIn that number around 150. These people include Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Caterina Fake, President Barack Obama, Governor Mitt Romney and Craig Newmark, among many others. Eventually, this will expand in the coming months and more authors will have the opportunity to publish their writeups on the site, too.

This new feature offered by LinkedIn is specifically called the Influencer program. This encourages thought leaders in the areas of business, non-profit and public sector to share valuable information on the site and gain followers. Apart from articles, the site also allows publishing of polls, presentations, videos and infographics among others.
