At last, thanks to Hilary Thomas, I have some tools for you, SAP Web 2.0 FREE PowerPoint Twitter Tools, that may convince colleagues that Twitter is after all a useful tool!

Sometimes the practitioner/administrator/manager/etc., delivering a presentation, are the only one(s) who don't know what their audience is thinking – because everybody else is viewing a Twitter stream.

These new prototypes fix that problem, allowing users to deliver presentations in web 2.0 style, with the comments from their audience appearing directly on the screen, in real time, during their presentation!

NO! Don't be put off; there is so much more to these tools.

Based on the SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius dashboarding technology, but completely free to use, the prototypes can be embedded in any PowerPoint presentation, and provide...

  • a real-time Twitter ticker feed;
  • a Twitter feedback slide;
  • a set of Twitter voting templates;
  • a twitter ticker bar;
  • a mood meter;
  • a Crowd meter;
  • Zoom text; and
  • an update bar.

There is also the option for auto-tweets embedded in the slides.

I've tried out most of these options and am impressed. See what you think...
