 PowerPoint Twitter Ticker Bar

Instructions
 Put the slide into presentation mode to see the ticker bar at the bottom of the screen. If the
bar does not appear, see troubleshooting section of online instructions)
 Use the left-hand button to turn the bar on or off. Type in the text you want to search for (e.g.
“timoelliott”) and press Enter.
 Click outside the bar area in order to give control back to PowerPoint/move to next slide, etc.

The Twitter Bar will appear here in Presentation Mode

(you may have to wait a few seconds for it to load)

To maintain status across slides, you must put the ticker bar in your slide master,
as I have done here. See http://sapweb20.com/blog/powerpoint-twitter-tools/instructions

 PowerPoint Twitter Update Bar

Note: This bar uses “basic authentication.” Because of Twitter/ Flash security
restrictions, the file “powerpoint_twitter_update_status.swf” must be in the same
directory as this slide deck for the bar to work.

 PowerPoint Twitter Voting
Instructions

To vote, make the first character of your tweet an option number, and include a
unique voting string somewhere in the text, e.g.
“1 is the option I choose! myvote” OR
“@votebytweet 1 myvote” (your followers won’t see the votes by default)
Here’s what the chart looks like with data — try putting in the string “xcelsiustweet”
and extending the days option to see some results on the next slides…

 PowerPoint Twitter Mood Meter

This tool is a variation on the twitter voting. The audience can tweet either:
 @votebytweet warmer myuniqueid
 @votebytweet colder myuniqueid

And the indicator in the bar will move to the right (warmer) or to the left (colder). The
bar shows the average of the last n tweets (10 by default)

Usage example: at the start of a presentation, you ask the audience how they feel
about a particular topic (e.g. “do you think SAP is an innovative company?”. Then the
audience can tweet during the presentation if they agree/disagree, and the bar shows
the current “mood”
As with the ticker bar, this should be installed in the powerpoint slide master if you
want to use it across slides. See
http://www.sapweb20.com/blog/powerpoint-twitter-tools/instructions for more details
