=================
NOTE: The Twitter API changed and this app no longer works.

I've created a newer, improved app called eventstream. It has support for Twitter and G+, and you can add pictures too, which is rad. 
Check it out at: http://github.com/jmstriegel/eventstream
=================





A projection-friendly twitter feed, designed for displaying tweets during an event.

Installation
-------------
1. Place all files in your web documents directory
2. Edit /includes/config.inc with your server's path and url
3. Set your hashtag and page title in /includes/config.inc

Customization
-------------
1. Create a transparent PNG for your logo in /assets/images/logo.png
2. Edit /assets/css/eventtweet.css to customize styles (optional)*
3. Edit /templates/pages/index.inc and /templates/shared/header.inc to customize layout (optional)

* This should display on a 1024x768 or larger projector. On a small display, you may need to tweak the font size of the overview h2 if your hashtag is extremely long.


Use
-------------
- You can use View->Fullscreen in Chrome or Firefox for optimum display.
- Tweets will display on the left column as they come in. The most recent tweet will update in the right column.
- The presenter may click on any tweet to enter focus mode - the tweet will overtake the display. This is ideal for Q&A sessions.
- Click on a focused tweet to return to stream mode.
