If you’ve been twittering (and who hasn’t), then you’re probably getting annoyed by those hazy green profile photos that make your friends so hard to see.  It’s all the work of a new Twitter service called “twcauses” created by Arik Fraimovich (@arikfr) who is most known for co-creating Topify, a Twitter email service.

Currently, the creation is in it’s rudimentary stages.  If you want to create something to support any cause on Twitter, you have to go to twcauses.com and fill out a form.  You can choose from a solid profile color, or a ribbon overlaying the profile photo.  Since everything appears to be manually done right now, you can even offer suggestions as the folks at Livestrong evidently did with their “Support Lance and the Global Cancer Fight Campaign”, which wraps a Livestrong wristband around your profile picture.  It will be interesting to see whether this catches on with other causes.
