Hey PotF disciples,

ever since I started using a program called TweetDeck on my tietokone (that really is full of knowledge), I used a filter row that searches for tweets that contain hashtags like #potf, #poetsofthefall and such in order to monitor the Twitterverse for all things Poets of the Fall. :)

Then some time ago I thought it would be nice to have such a 'PotF monitoring instrument' on the web. This is what turned out to be POTFwall.

Image

What it basically does is to monitor all Tweets that contain the hashtags #potf or #poetsofthefall or the terms 'Poets of the Fall' or 'PoetsoftheFall' in real-time and lists them on the left-hand side of the page. Tweets by the PotF guys are listed on the right-hand side, obviously.

You can even log in with your Twitter account to use the site as a trimmed-down Twitter client. :) You can instantly reply to any Tweet that is listed on the page or retweet it with a single click without going to twitter.com. In addition to that, you can also post a Tweet about PotF that you like to your Facebook profile.

There's also a little stats page: http://potfwall.com/top-tweeters/ that permantently monitors the Twitterverse and lists the Top 10 Twitter users that have tweeted about PotF, how often and when. Will be interesting to see who's on top of that list in some weeks/months/years.

I hope you enjoy the site, and it will come in handy to satisfy our thirst for PotF during the holidays and beyond. ;)

Feedback is appreciated and welcome (I'll block anyone on the forums who's going to make negative critics, though =p nah.)

Merry Christmas, everyone! :)

Looks pretty cool alph! 8) And reminds me of using more hashtags ;)

So now we are actually getting rewarded (with an appearance on the wall) for spamming the guys with questions? :P

@Alpha

You never cease to amaze me! Everytime I turn around you are doing something else to make the POTF fans and band members happy! :) You are so awesome! :)

Can't wait to check it out! :wink:

Thanks guys, and glad you like it. :) I kind of like to see what people not from the forums from all around the world say about the Poets.. like the one I just see now:
Quote:
My mentionworthy discovery of late 2010 has to be Poets of The Fall. This band is #epic.

Okay, I removed monitoring and tracking the tweet count of tweets containing the term "PoetsoftheFall" since these would be mostly @-replies to the guys... don't think a Twitterwall is meant to display "personal" talks between the guys and others.

And I hope it won't be causing spam (luckily not all Twitter users are german users :p), although I wouldn't mind #potf/#poetsofthefall becoming a trending topic on Twitter. :wink:

To Stef, Lisa, Alek and Alphie


I dance in tune with what I fear
To do adrenaline
Completely rapt with what I hear
When passion colors everything
The songs I sing, from way out there to deep within
The face I wear behind my grin
The mess I made to the original sin
Everything, everything, everything


Including tweet trending! :wink:

See you soon!

Love
Snow :wink:

What a lovely night it was.

Revelation leading to my psychosis and inspiration
Digest another hallucination, psychosis by recreation
#potf

Love you people, see you on the POTFwall soon :)

Those of us trending #potf need others to join in! Who knows? You might actually come close to being at the top of the POTFwall! (That's considered a challenge people! And if you're like Barney, you accept any challenge!! :wink: )

Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait


#potf

See? It's easy :) ! And never mind about others on twitter :P ! You needn't talk to them :roll: ! Just the POTF fans :lol: ! And here's the bestest part :shock: : If you don't want to be on twitter too long you can wait till January 22 to help out......but why wait :? ? Why not hang with us, the cool kids 8) (ok just let me have that! I never get to say that! :oops: ) on twitter and just enjoy the constant clever tweeting :o ? Cause we feel a change coming on rolling out of the blue like a storm; can you hear it scream? :wink: We can! And we feel the fire flare alight inside us, higher so we can see! :D But we need you guys to lift us higher, take our spirits, make them fly! 8) #potf

Need help or guidance with twitter? Oh c'mon! But if you do, there are quite a few of us willing to teach you! :mrgreen: (I hold a championship thingy for posting almost 19,000 tweets just since like February.......I think.......well like around there.. 8) )

Are you still here? What? Get over to twitter already! :wink: :D

You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear


:wink:

Poets of The Fall Trending Event is gonna be awesome!

And it's great fun for those 13-103!

Come Join Us! :D #potf
