Twitter as a platform, and where does the Wall of Tweets fit in…

TwitterTwitter is a popular communication channel that allows its users to exchanges short messages (up to 140 characters) over the Internet. This is the fastest growing social network. In March, 2010 the number of messages on Twitter was over 10 billion. This is even more fascinating when we realize that just a few months before this number was only 5 billion.

The growth of Twitter in its size and popularity came with a price – the noise. In an ocean of messages it is pretty hard to find ones relevant to your interests. Luckily, Twitter users invented hashtags, and now it is possible to tag messages, making them contextually relevant and distinct. For example, millions of messages sent right after the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti were tagged with #haiti, and a similarly there was a hashtag #iran during the demonstrations in the summer of 2009.

Wall of Tweets allows you to collect and share those messages that are relevant to your subject. Microsoft used a hashtag #atd5 to create a Wall of Tweets twitterwall for the Advanced Technology Day 5 conference, thus allowing attendees to exchange text messages, images and videos, before, during and after the conference. Participants could follow this generated content online or in situ at the front of the conference hall.
