Help us choose our new Twitter background!

01.22.10

twitterbackgroundpost

The Social Media team at Research In Motion can’t get enough of Twitter. As such, we decided that our official RIM Twitter accounts needed some sprucing up with a new background design – a bit of a personal touch to help put a face to our tweets.

But we need your help. We can’t seem to choose between our two different Twitter background designs, so we’re reaching out to help us decide. We’ve placed one of the proposed designs on @BlackBerryBlog, and the other on @BlackBerry. Please post a comment or tweet either account telling us which design you like best. If there’s something you feel should be added to either background, let us know that too.

Please help us out so the Social Media team can focus more on our tweeting.

    @BlackBerry is better. I like the crooked pics on the side, as opposed to the straight pics on the @BlackBerryBlog background.

    the @blackberry one looks better with staggered photos of the people.. the straight version on @blackberryblog looks too commerial/spammish – like the typical SEO marketing spam i get every day. however… you need to add to this! the background is just blank and black.. take this opportunity to add something 'you'… like a blackberry. or a bunch of blackberries – and yes i do mean teh fruit :) or a cool abstract design.. or take a photo and play with it in a photo program and make it look like stained glass or lline drawing etc..

    I too like @blackberry better. @blackberryblog seems a bit too formal in comparison.

  • http://blogs.blackberry.com Douglas tr0n Soltys

    Wow, this is why we asked you guys. I was sure the @BlackBerryBlog version would win.

    Keep posting more recommendations like donnam13, so we can tweak the pages to be even better!

  • Ivan

    @Blackberry is my fav xD

  • rebecyoung

    Well, from what I gather that's 11 points for @BlackBerry and 0 for @BlackBerryBlog! I knew you guys would like my version better than Douglas's version!

    crooked pics without a doubt

  • garvey14

    I like the @blackberry design overall, but the black text from @blackberryblog promotes easier readability for folks like me (read older guy!).

  • FinzaAshraf

    l like the straight photos one, looks less sloppy and i want my apps to look deliberate, not slapped on all over the place.

    [...] RIM’s Social Media team put up a post asking the community which Twitter background they prefer: @blackberry versus @blackberryblog. There doesn’t seem to be a difference between the two, other than @blackberry has crooked pictures on the side. If you ask me, they should have a white background with a new QR code each week. The QR code would be a link to a free app that RIM would kindly give out to the community for free. It could be a new theme, app or even ringtone. I’m sure there are a ton of developers out there who would be happy to run a giveaway through RIM’s twitter page. Is there anything you would like to see? Which one do you prefer? [...]

  • Michael

    I like the straight pics. Seems much more organized

  • chelseytx

    love @blackberry … the crooked pics give it more flare and style, whereas the other is just plain and boring.

    @BlackBerryBlog is better. It looks more organized and can fit more profiles.

  • John Cronin

    The “collage” look certainly has more of an upscale appearence!

  • Sharon

    I vote for this one over the @BlackBerryBlog.

  • Nick

    I like the background, I think the simple blackberry logo and nothing to complicated works perfectly. Can't wait to get this app!!

  • Jimmers

    I like the @Blackberry version because it is different from most of the other Twitter designs.

  • patricksmith1988

    @blackberryblog

  • http://twitter.com/Jeffreyafstl Jeffreyafstl

    @BlackBerry is my winner. The lined up pictures on @BlackBerryBlog are boring.

  • donaldkellycb

    I like @BlackBerry better, as everyone has said @BlackBerry blog is too formal and corporate for a Twitter account.

  • http://twitter.com/Mazdaspeed Mazdaspeed

    @BlackBerry is way better. I'm not one for straight line anything.

  • brook196

    I like the straight pics. easier to see and looks more organized. I don't like the “messy” look at all :(

  • http://blogs.blackberry.com Douglas tr0n Soltys

    Well, it looks like the @BlackBerryBlog fans have come out of hiding, but @BlackBerry is leading by far.

    So let's look for some feedback on how to enhance the page. Larger pictures/text was mentioned… Would you like more info on the team? Something like the RIM social team mandate? Or more stuff like our favorite foods? =D

  • http://caspan.com Caspan

    I like @BlackBerry as well I like the look of free flowing as apposed to straight lines and tables. It looks more dynamic like pictures were just dropped on the page.

    If I used Twitter I might actually follow you :) seriously I get Twitter I really do but I have no idea how it got so large. It's status updates with a limited field with the ability to tag (link) a specific comment tag and comments. I'm actually asking people why do you love it so much? I'm curious why no use Facebook status updates etc..?

  • Scott

    What are people thinking? Let's make efficient use of our pixels…that means @BlackBerryBlog wins! I have been preaching for some time that we have certainly become a fashion over function society. Well, this survey proves my theory! Please use the @BlackBerryBlog design.
