I've pulled together a list of different Twitter visualisation tools beneath - Some of them look pretty cool, others are a little bit dull but functional. Anyway, check them out, let me know what you think.
Note: In all examples, I've chosen to display tweets for the #ff hashtag - I don't endorse any tweets that appear, blah blah blah, etc.
1. Visible Tweets
I came across Visible Tweets a few weeks ago and I really like it. You can choose from three different types of animation and all of them are attractive. The one downside is that it is necessarily a little bit slow cycling through tweets, so don't expect it to pick up and display every tweet if you're hosting a popular event.2. Twitter Search Widget
The Twitter Search Widget might not be quite as attractive as Visual Tweets, but it does allow you a great degree of personalisation. You can edit its dimensions, colour, frequency of updates, and much more.
3. Twitter Fountain
Twitter Fountain is a handy tool, it pulls in hashtagged tweets and mashes them up with images from Flickr. There are lots of different display options that you can fiddle with.There are more Twitter visualisation tools that I either can't embed on the blog or haven't paid for, but that I believe are still worth a look:
- Twitterfall - Basic but functional, although it does scroll a little too quickly for my liking (Free)
- TweetWall Pro - Looks very impressive, lots of different themes (Free trial, paid for thereafter)
- Revisit - Well worth a look, really interesting layout and it 'emphasizes conversational threads' (Free)
That's it from me for the moment. Let me know if you've got any more event-oriented visualisation tools to add to the list above.
