In September, we’re offering a Twitter tip a day. Send us your thoughts and suggestions.

[Tweet this tip]
Day 19: For presentations, Visible Tweets
shows off in style (ex: http://bit.ly/2NrU1o).

Need some pizazz for your conference or panel? Maybe your audience doesn’t want to stare at a blank wall or a Powerpoint slide for 40 minutes.

Let’s see some live tweets. (Fair warning: You never know what your twitterers will say!)

First, make sure your attendees are on the same wavelength with a custom hashtag for the conference (here’s how).

Then, try Visible Tweets, a free service that lets you put in any type of standard Twitter search: hashtags, keywords, usernames. Check out one I set up as an example using the “30 Twitter tips hath September” series, or another one with my recent tweets.

If you need other ways to show live tweeting, try these useful and free tools:

Twitterfall (see example)
Twittervision (study the URL to see how to specify a keyword search, like this one for “football“)
Twittervision 3D (yes, you can zoom in and drag it around)
