Flickr My Background
is a neat little tool which checks your Flickr account every hour for uploads to your Flickr account and uses the latest photo as your Twitter background.It checks for new photos on your flickr account every hour and updates your Twitter profile background image accordingly.

You need to provide you Twitter login details and validate your Flickr account. I’ve tried it out and it definitely works well however you may need to set your custom background image by going to your Twitter design settings page, click on “Change background image”, then click on the image box that appears. Also, due to a bug in twitter, you’ll need check off ’tile background’ before clicking save. You can always un-tile it later.
