Wall of Tweets twitterwall: Customer-driven innovation and new features

Here at UX Passion we take pride every time when our customers achieve business and other successes especially when it’s in part to our contribution.

Wall of Tweets twitterwall as our project and product is no different. In fact, many new  spectacular features we’ve announced a while ago have been proposed by our customers and they have had the direct opportunity to interact with our product design team and share their feelings.

Today, I’m proud to announce several new features and improvements that have been added to Wall of Tweets v 2.0 as of today. They are still going through some testing but feedback and first results are really promising. Wow, I’m always excited like a little kid when I’m making announcement like this one (I don’t want to lose this feeling. Ever.)

So, without any further ado…

1. Support for Twitter List API – until now you have been able to show tweets containing specific word, hashtag, tweets from specific user(s) or any combination. But now, you can show all tweets from the specific Twitter List of people. It’s especially useful for events where you want to showcase only confirmed attendees or you have some culture of curated content. Our major client (we will announce the name and nice PR next week) has come up with this request – and we were delighted to add this ability. Team was working on this for hours, we’ve pulled several all-nighters but hey – we now support Twitter Lists – and that’s just very neat! Beautiful!

2. List Importer – Import Twitter users from Excel to Twitter List – Related to our newly announced support for Twitter Lists – we’ve decided to go one step further – and also, this is something that was requested from our wonderful client – they have had Excel file with several hundred Twitter names attending their conference and they wanted to add those names to specific Twitter List. Imagine adding almost 400 names, manually, one by one to create really great Twitter list… Let’s say you need 20 seconds per name – that’s about 8000 seconds – or 134 minutes without taking any breaks, making no mistakes and just frantically typing, typing, typing…

Well, not anymore – we’ve built cool Twitter application called WOT List Importer (mind the FatDUX Zagreb name, we are now UX Passion and FatDUX Zagreb is history) – it will take your Excel file and add all users from that file into the list of your choice. How much time does it take, you ask? Less than 2 minutes for 500 users… Beat that! It’s magical!

And there’s one more thing. Oh boy, you’ll love this one!

3. Simple moderation capabilities from your iPhone/iPad/iPad Touch, Android, Windows Phone 7 mobile device – Imagine this – you are the organizer of a really serious and important event. Of course, you are using Wall of Tweets as a Twitter backchannel for your event and everything is going just nice. At some point you notice that some user, let’ say @DPiXXX is spamming your Wall of Tweets with some profanities – “I gotta ya!” you say – you are grabbing your mobile device, opening our simple moderation app and you are adding that user to your “Blacklist” – boom, he’s gone – his tweets will never again appear on your Wall of Tweets. Apart for adding users to the blacklist, you can add specific hashtags, words, turn off Paper.li, Foursquare and Gowalla notifications. Your life as a PR / Social media / event organizer guy or girl just got better. Just wonderful!

It’s so simple. Powerfully simple. And that’s why I know you will love it!

  • Wall of Tweets is a product which we always customize to specific needs of a customer. In other words, this is not a serial product, it is a unique user experience. There are similar products in the market, but their generalness usually ignores specific customer needs. Wall of Tweets is in this way unique and it is applicable to any customer requirement.
