What is the best Twitter wall software to use it at a conference?
Is there a wall that aggregates more than just tweets? Other media? Also, what's the legal word on this? Can Twitter, Instagram summarily block people from displaying content on public digital walls?
Tons of events/conferences use Enplug's software for displaying HD images, HD videos, and live social media feeds. The Enplug device plugs into any TV, display or projector via HDMI, or you can download Enplug straight onto your laptop/desktop.
Using their live social media feed, you can stream Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. It's super clean and really simple. You can login to their website to drag and drop images and videos straight to your display. I know the industry very well and it's probably the easiest social media/signage options.
Easy Setup
From the Enplug website, you can input your social media handles (@YourEvent) or custom hashtags (#YourEvent) to display live streams in real-time. You can display a live Twitter feed, Instagram feed, Facebook feed, Yelp feed and Foursquare feed. The social media displays can be controlled from the Enplug iOS and Android app. There's even profanity filters to block certain negative keywords.
More Than Just Social Media
You can also run custom images, HD video, RSS/blogs/news, and weather on the same screen using the Enplug software.
Just like any other live event, conferences need UGC (user generated content) + hashtags (Twitter/Instagram/Facebook) + a platform to - aggregate, curate and display social content.
ContentPlum currently being used by over 2000 top brands, is the platform that facilitates all of the above. Through ContentPlum you can publish live social content on any big event screen, digital signage or website.

Examples: As an official partner of the European Ryder Cup, BMW made an impression with a presence focused heavily on social engagement and interaction. ContentPlum powered the Twitter feed with hashtag #DriveYourTeam running on top of the video wall.
Another example of a ContentPlum Twitter wall was for the Google Developer conference with their unique conference specific multiple hashtags.
I'm most likely biased but Wall of Tweets (http://www.walloftweets.net) is really powerful solution used by big shots like Microsoft, Navigon, World Economic Forum (WEF, Davos), even at MacWorld, AON, TEDx conferences, Ignite conferences, even with DJ Tiesto and many others. WIth support for moderation, digital signage, integration with Foursquare, each and every Wall is built for you, highly customized and, hosted and supported so it is really terrific solution.
