As much as I support Tweeters at events, I definitely think streaming the steam behind the speaker is very distracting and a bad idea. The stream belongs on lobby monitors and in “common areas” at events. But, streaming behind the speaker or during a presentation just begs distraction for all the reasons you mention above.

Only a few months back my company finished work on a new product for presenting twitter content (tweets) to a large screen. Way more than ‘web browser on a stick’ we have developed a two-part application suite designed to be robust in a live environment with full moderation capabilities. The first outing for the system was Eddie Izzard’s Stripped Tour (UK, Europe and USA 2009/2010). Please get in touch if you have other applications on +44 (0) 1438 360 058.

Thank you for the great post. I plan to use live Twitter streaming in a spring 2010 CALL class at UIC (Computer Assisted Language Learning). I want to use Twitter for quick polls among my students, as well as a way for more students to jump in on discussions by projecting their comments on a big screen in the classroom. I was looking for the best tools for this and I’m going to explore the Twitterfall and Tweetchat apps that you suggested. Any other apps that would work well for this kind of tweet streaming in class?
