Wall of Tweets 2 Beta is here – learn about new spectacular features

Hi there, this is Vibor from UX Passion team! Wow, what weeks we’ve had! I’m so excited to be able to share with you some of the news we have right now.

As you know, and Antun was blogging about this earlier, we’ve been working on a second, new, version of our Wall of Tweets twitterwall product. After literally hundred installations and clients, large and small, it was time to gather the feedback and start from the scratch.

And today – new Wall of Tweets 2 (still in beta) is available. After hundreds of hours, bunch of sleepless nights, few thousands lines of code, dozens of users being tested and some 100 000 tweets caught in WoT… Numbers are impressive!

Learn what’s new!

What’s new?

I don’t know where to start from – but here’s the list of my favorite TOP 5 new features we have in our Wall of Tweets  – best twitterwall solution available…

  • Moderation capabilities and SentiMent feature – you need full control of the tweets on your event, need to whitelist some users or block others? Need automatic filtering capabilities – for naughty users or tweets containing profanities or expressions you don’t want to appear? We offer this now! It’s really awesome feature and one of the top requests we’ve had! It’s powerful, easy to use and just plain awesome!
  • Images, images everywhere – you tweet and you tweet with pictures? No problem, we will display those as well! Plixi support? Sure? Twetphoto and TwitPic? Absolutely! YFrog?! You bet! Even if your tweet contains 2, 3 or 5 images – we will show then all. It looks just gorgeous on the big screen.
  • Revolutionary improved Top Tweeps list – we will now show top 10 tweeps, but only the top 3 will be awarded WoT Rank and will have their information featured – like their bio, number of followers, friends, tweets – it’s absolutely beautiful and nice feature. Information is displayed in really engaging animations and transitions – one of the Wall of Tweets pillars!
  • Big, bold avatars – say goodbye to small, blurry images – welcome the nice, rich, bold avatars! We have made significant improvements in this area – all images are now pulled in high resolution and the user experience is just terrific.
  • Digital signage features – this is huge one! Do you want to display your event agenda? Need to say when is the next presentation or you just wanted to show some really important message to the conference or event attendees? We now support this! It can be image, text, video, audio – or any combination. As we love to say: “If it’s digital, we can add it!”. This was one of the most requested features and we are happy to have it available for you. Right now! Just imagine the possibilities – sponsor videos, weather forecast, conference agenda, information regarding the timetables or any announcement you’d like to make! Dare to imagine – so did we!

There are over 60 new features we have implemented, but this was the list of my Top 5. Wall of Tweets is currently in Beta and we expect to release a full version around Christmas time. This beta is already very stable – it was used by our friends at Tweetokracija, Microsoft (at their Microsoft Advanced Technology Day 6), TEDxAntananarivo event and other clients are eager to use it as we are rolling it out to them.

What you can expect from full version? Well, what about iPhone and iPad support? Full HTML 5 version of the Wall of Tweets? Oh yea! We are just starting to have fun!

What can I say at the end of this post apart from big THANK YOU to all our team members, partners, our customers (you guys are paying for this and this is our way to say thanks) and UX Passion associates – literally hundreds of hours have been invested in this project – but the final result is here and it looks great!

New code base – written from the scratch, moderation system and our innovative SentiMent feature, iPad / iPhone and HTML 5 support, extremely flexible visualization platform, digital signage features… Beat that! I know you’ll try ;)

I’m proud to say that our Wall of Tweets twitterwall is THE BEST available twitterwall solution. Hands down!

And just wait for the next big announcement of our next new big client and user of the Wall of Tweets 2.0. We are in the final stages of arranging this deal, so be patient a bit and I’ll be here to let you know as soon as we are able to make that information public!

      Windays 2010
      Microsoft’s largest and most important conference in the region – Windays 10 was held from 19 – 23 April 2010 in Rovinj, Croatia. Being the Microsoft’s single most important event in the country – Windays 10 conference is prestigious event putting together topics from technology and business into seamless experience. Microsoft decided to use our Wall of Tweets solution during the conference and especially during the Juke-box night party. Also, this was the first time where we’ve developed additional modules for Wall of Tweets and deployed them as digital signage on 6 plasma screens showing the time and context dependent service information related to the conference itself (bus schedule, conference
      schedule, events…)
