Whenever we write a blog post specifically about an Everwall feature, you’ll find it broadly in this category, or under one of the three subcategories (which just so happen to match our three product lines).
Today we’re very excited to announce that Everwall and Webex have partnered to not only bring content from within Webex into Everwall, but also to bring Everwall into Webex via the just announced Webex Embedded Apps.
When attending any event, whether it’s a wedding, a 5k, a fundraiser, or a conference, there’s one thing attendees look forward to most after curtains have closed — the photos! Thanks to hashtags, attendees can self-sort pictures from events on their phones, but some of the savviest event planners are now creating an Instagram wall for events.
The basis of creating an Instagram wall for events is pretty straightforward in its execution; planners will hang a large projection screen or TV on a wall with a sign for the designated hashtag, and on the screen, you’ll see a collage of Instagram posts showing up in real time. It usually causes a bit of excitement, because people are natural voyeurs and will rush to get photos of their favorite cocktails, friends, and fun up on the wall at the event. Photo booths were so last year, am I right?
There are multiple reasons and multiple places that you may want to show a live Twitter feed. Maybe you’ve got a website, and you want it a bit fresher without having to log in every day and update it. Or maybe you have an event coming up and you want to show the live Twitter feed on the screens there in the venue? Maybe you’re a hip company with a fancy office and you want to show it on screens in your lobby… Whatever the reason and purpose, almost immediately you’ll realize that it’s not as easy as it sounds.
Twitter has an option you can use, but if you want to pull in content automatically using keywords or a hashtag it wont work, and none of the embeds they offer have any kind of moderation. And that’s where Everwall comes in.
We’ve received a lot of requests over the years from people building a social wall for an Everwall coupon code to get a discount. In fact, if you’re seeing this blog post, you probably Googled for a coupon code from us, too.
Well, we don’t want you to be hunting around anymore, so, we went ahead and created one to share with you right now…
In this feature overview, I am going to go over Everwall’s customizable social wall—including all the design options in our self-service builder, how to customize your social wall even further if you’re a developer or have one available, and finally, if you know what you want but are unsure how to get there, how to enlist our design team to custom build you a social wall template.
This is going to focus strictly on the design side of things with our customizable social wall, Everwall.
