BlastFollow enables you to follow Twitter users who share your interests en masse. This is accomplished by searching for users who have tweeted with a particular hashtag recently. For example, if you are interested in ISTE 2010 conference, you may want to search for users whose tweets have included the hashtag "#ISTE10".

"The PowerPoint Twitter Tools prototypes are now available. Created using SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius (but requiring only PowerPoint for Windows and Adobe Flash to run), the twitter tools allow presenters to see and react to tweets in real-time, embedded directly within their presentations, either as a ticker or refreshable comment page.
There are currently eight tools - you can easily cut and paste them into your own PowerPoint decks:
* PowerPoint Twitter feedback slides
* PowerPoint AutoTweet
* PowerPoint Twitter voting - bar charts and pie chart
* PowerPoint Twitter ticker bar
* PowerPoint Mood meter
* PowerPoint Crowd meter
* PowerPoint Zoom text
* PowerPoint Twitter update bar"

The online interface includes features that allow users to upload and share multimedia files, including videos, photos, Web links, and group polling data.
