Twitter Tuesday: Of profile pictures
You can upload a picture on your profile on Twitter. The picture is shown by each one of your Tweets and of course on your profile page as well.
It's part of how your followers identify you and your Tweets, as they skim their Twitter feed. Therefore it's recommended to have a distinct picture and not to change it too often. Headshots are usually the best, some use logos as well. The problem with logos is they don't show personality and people like to follow and communicate with people.
I highly recommend to upload a profile picture, if you want to actively use the service. The profiles which have the default icon are usually seen as spam or inactive. I for one don't tend to follow accounts without a custom profile picture.
Beginners, FYI: When you want to upload a profile picture, go to Settings > Profile and upload a picture there. The pictures are viewed mostly in small size and square, so keep that in mind when you choose the picture for your account.
