Using Twitterfall to watch the eComm twitter stream...
April 20, 2010
However, due to some personal schedule conflicts, I'm not there this year... the first time I've missed an eComm in North America.
I have, though, been watching the Twitter stream... and doing so using a site I found a while back called... Twitterfall. What's cool about Twitterfall is that if you have a second computer or screen, you can just set up Twitterfall to run on that computer/screen ... and it just sits there constantly updating based on the real-time flow of tweets coming out on whatever searchterm(s) you set up. So you can get your own little "kiosk" going that you can just glance over at from time to time. It automatically refreshes so you aren't ever having to manually trigger it.
Here is Twitterfall searching on "#eComm": http://twitterfall.com/?trend=%23eComm!%231F3547
The image below shows what it looks like. You can also click on "Hide Panels" to remove the left and right sidebars. You also can go to the right side of each tweet and, if you are logged into Twitter, have access to actions like reply, retweet, etc.
All in all an enjoyable way to monitor a twitter stream in the background. Kudos to the folks who created the site!
