Mouse over the tweeter's name, and you get info on their location and followers.
Mouse over a tweet, and you get access to a series of icons that let you reply to the message, retweet it, follow the tweeter, etc. You can also log in to Twitter from Twitterfall and use it as your regular Twitter client. You can set up a search for "snow," and use the geolocation search box to keep you up to date on how your neighbors within 10 miles of you are handling the latest snow day.Įasy to read, easy to search, easy to customize, Twitterfall is the interface for Twitter. Or say you want to hear what people have to say about the last snowstorm - but you really don't care about the snowfall in Anchorage, you only want to know what people have to say in your town. Want to know what people are saying about the new Mac Mini? Pop "Mac Mini" in the custom search field, and you're on your way. Or - and this is where Twitterfall gets interesting - by setting up your own search criteria. You do this by clicking off the general feed and tracking the most popular message trends on Twitter (which are displayed on the left sidebar). Why is it the coolest thing since sliced bread? Unless you really like just watching random messages go by, the first thing you'll want to do is to start using Twitterfall to track tweets about subjects you care about.
You can adjust the speed of this message stream with the basic setup tools, which are located on the right-hand column. What does it do? When you first bring up Twitterfall, you immediately see where the name comes from - the center display quickly fills with a waterfall of Twitter notes.
