Twitter Apps for Displaying Tweets on Big Screen
Posted by David 23 04 2010I’ve been looking into twitter applications which could be used to display tweets live on a large screen.
Twitter Display Applications
1. Twitterfall
Requires a twitter account but can be used for displaying up to the minute tweets from specific accounts, #hashtags or words/phrases. It has a presentation mode which would be useful for displaying on an interactive whiteboard or large screen.
Very simple. No need to create an account. Just type in the hash tags you want to display and click full screen. The colour of the background changes over time. There are three animation presets for setting how the tweets will be displayed.
3. Wiffiti
You need to sign up and create an account to be able to publish it. Browser Based. You just set the hash tags you want it to display updates about and a few more settings and that’s it. To be able to display it full screen you need to publish it and copy the movie URL into a web browser and then select full screen mode for whichever web browser the computer is using.
4. Twittercamp
Displays approx 16 tweets in a table grid. Quite neat to look at.
An alternative would be to use something like this which pulls live tweets into a powerpoint slide.
Powerpoint Tools
There are also lots of twitter clients which could potentially be used to display tweets on a large screen but they tend to be tailored more to desktop use.

7. Tweet Deck
Too busy for this purpose unless it’s a huge screen. Can be used to check Facebook updates too.
8. Twhirl
9. Digsby
Keep check of Facebook : Email from one application
10. Tweet Chat
Twitter and Blogs
There are various apps for linking your blog with twitter and the other way round. Wordpress has various plugs ins for this purpose.

11. Twitter Feed
Twitter for Conferences
12. Twubs
It’s in beta version at the moment, which is free.
Does lots of tasks which could be very useful to display comments, speeches, videos, photos from a conference and tweets.
