Twitterfall’s posterous

If you're taking part in a Twitter conversation around a hashtag, for example #designchat or #frys, click New Tweet, then click 'Stick' to open the tweet box at the bottom. In the bottom box you can add a hashtag to be appended to every tweet (actually, it fills in the box for you, so you know what your tweet is going to look like).

 

You probably already know that you can add a heading to our Presentation Mode. Now if you type in a URL of an image, that image will load in place of the heading (see above). Great for adding your own branding to a Twitterfall on a projector.

You may not be able to tell from the above image, but Twitterfall will now widen your tweets when you widen your display to make the most of wide monitors. They don't get too wide though, we've chosen some sizes that we feel work.

(it was @chartier's fault it came through 4 times)

Though you wont see it yet, we've added support for Project Retweet, Twitter's plans to change the way retweeting works on Twitter, once Twitter switches it on, it'll work. Retweeting within Twitterfall does not support this yet because it has not been enabled yet.

Thanks to the whatthetrend.com API, you can now find out what trends mean by simply clicking the little 'i' that appears when you hover over a trend. The information is retrieved and displayed for you right within Twitterfall.
