TweetBubbles is a tool which can make your presentation more exciting by live feeding Twitter during events or seminars. If you use TweetBubbles, opinions and questions posted by the participants of the events will be over-layed on top of the presentation as tweets in bubbles. By integrating real-time comments of the participants into your presentation, you can make your presentation even more engaging. I hope you try TweetBubbles for your next presentation!
