Converge Weekly

There isn’t a conference or professional gathering lately that doesn’t give a special hashtag to the event so it can be tracked and trended on Twitter as the audience tweets about how good, bad or ugly the presentation is. I stumbled across this cool looking twitter plugin for Microsoft Powerpoint that basically lets you insert one of 4 live twitter feed apps into your Powerpoint slides starting with a scrolling twitter ticker bar right through to a live crowd meter, voting tool and feedback slide. It’s all controlled by names or hashtags and it brings everything live into your powerpoint slides. They’ve just released an update which has fixed a few bugs and added an extra tool.
