@JoeLaz I’m trying out a new background image for Twitter @JoeLaz (courtesy of Google Maps).  What do you think?  I don’t have the programming skills, but I think it would be cool to use the Twitter API, Google Maps, and a location service like Google Latitude or Fire Eagle to automatically update your Twitter background with a satellite image showing where you currently are in the world.
