Speakers and presenters at conferences are increasingly finding their audience live tweeting during their presentation.
In most cases, the presenter has no clue about what the audience is saying onTwitter.
This leads to a disconnect between the true thoughts of the audience in contrast with that of the presenter.
Timo Elliott of SAP Web 2.0 has developed several free Powerpoint Twitter tools.
You needPowerPoint2003 or 2007 and[NO LONGER WORKS] Adobe Flashto use them.
Note that these Powerpoint Twitter tools are free prototypes with limited support.
First, you oughta drop in the Add-in to PowerPoint.
Go to theOffice Button, and clickPowerPoint Options>Add-Ins.
From theManagedrop-down, selectPowerPoint Add-ins, and clickGo".
In theAdd-Insdialog, clickAdd New, and select theAutoTweet.ppamPowerPoint Addin file that you unzipped from the downloaded archive.
After you see the AutoTweet add-in installed with a checkbox, shut the dialog.
Next, bring up the presentation in PowerPoint, and go to theAdd-Instab on the ribbon.
In the Menu Commands on the left, you will seeAutoTweet.
you could optionally add a hashtag to your tweets and choose to get a successful tweet confirmation while presenting.
This tool auto tweets the Notes from each slide in your presentation.
However, you might have some additional content in your Notes not meant to be tweeted.
For example, here is how I made my note to be automatically tweeted during my presentation.
We will see how it’s possible for you to use this to gather feedback in the next section.
Enter the search term in the box on the bottom left and press Enter.
Tweets from Twitter containing the search term will automatically be shown in the slide.
The slide refreshes by itself after 30 seconds and you could view history using the page navigation arrows.
Also check out Slide 5 from the downloaded presentation which displays tweets in a grid layout.
