Twitter is rolling out new profile header photos to their users. The new option is very similar to Facebook's Timeline photo, in that it appears in a larger area along the top of your profile page.
Before, you would only have the small avatar image to work with when representing yourself or a brand. A larger photo on the profile page helps convey interests or services more clearly. Ready to add one? Just follow these steps:

(Credit: Screenshot by Nicole Cozma/CNET)Twitter recommends an image size of 1,200x600 pixels to best suit your profile page. There's also an optional slider to adjust how close you want to zoom in on the image (if it's a larger one), so you won't need to do any cropping beforehand.
What will you be using as a profile picture? Share it what it is, or even a link, in the comments.
