Don’t have time to personalize your Twitter background. Here is a genial idea by COLOURLover: Themeleon and also a quick overview and link to a tutorial by Jarel Remick.
Did some exploration and using a single palette choice (there are a staggering 724,730 background patterns and 1,083,156 color palettes to choose from) came up with the following.
Rocking app! Have fun!

Another exceptionally well-done website for Toshiedo agency, hailing from Australia. “Like so many internet companies founded in the late 90s, Toshiedo started with a guy in an attic with a mission. Disappointed with what he saw on the web, James Mason set out with a goal to create online experiences to satisfy his own expectations.
Driven by passion and a meticulous attention to detail, an attic-based operation quickly grew into a recognised agency attracting a list of glamorous clients.”
Not bad uh?

Oh! You gotta try this. Who is your type? by Pentagram. Fill in name — use this password: Character — answer the 4 questions (turn on your speakers) and tada! You are done and profiled.
The results are accompanied of a small and succinct narrative about the font and its designer(s). Luv the Brit accent of anonymous anchor, so class! In order to test it, did a first round under my real name, then under a nom de plume changing two variants (from emotional to rational / from understated to assertive).
Shown the results :))

Yugo Nakamura aka Yugop is one of earlier flash and interactive explorers who went on to be part of the pioneers of using rich media online. As creative director of tha ltd. he was part of developing the MUJI rhythm tv ad series along store collaterals. The videos are deliciously made and convey the minimal and modern brand approach to product design.
Worth seeing all.

Recently, he embarked on a total new journey. In fact, A Journey To Zero, will be conducted under the tutelage of Richard Saul Wurman, TED founder, who will guide the conversation around zero emission mobility.
The website is a little jewel in ref with interactive exploration, and the content (which incldes videos) as challenging as the navigation. You can actually join the movement and make a poster, download the font, take the pledge and spread the word around you.
