Twitter Hashtag Broadcast
USV has a four step process for displaying a live feed of a Twitter hashtag.
Steps to setup real time Twitter conversations to your event:
- Agree on a hash tag to use for the duration of the event (in our case #hackedu was short, descriptive, and easy to remember)
- Have a laptop with an Internet connection projecting onto a wall or screen
- Use Firefox and install the add-on called greasemonkey
- Once greasemonkey is installed grab the Twitter search auto refresh script (or something similar)
