#HootTip ~ Use HootSuite’s HootFeed to Display Social Messages at Events

Ever been to an event or conference where you wish the audience could be more interactive? Today, attendees at all kinds of events are bound to Tweet. What if you could capture those Tweets by searching related keywords, #hashtags and @mentions and projecting them in a real-time stream across your entire event?

Meet HootFeed. This customizable full-screen Twitter feed is built for live events and digital displays. Showcase your audience’s Tweets on the mainstage or have them on LCD screens scattered throughout your event. HootFeed is free, customizable and easy-to-use.

HootFeed is browser based with no installation required and only takes a few minutes to set up. All you need is wifi, an email address, whatever video set-up you’d prefer… and an audience.

Customizing your HootFeed

Here’s a fun tip: We display HootSuite-related Tweets in a daily, live HootFeed on LCD screens around the office. This is another great use of HootFeed. Simply add your company name, search related hashtags and keywords and follow the conversations live, right from your desk.

Note: Want to stream the same HootFeed over multiple screens so that everyone sees the same feed? Copy the owl.y link on the top right hand of the streaming HootFeed to view it on other browsers or screens.
