SOCIAL WALL: What it is and what it is for

15 May 2018

‘Social Walls’ or ‘Social Media Wall’ is an essential concept that you should include in your social media vocabulary.

Social Walls: What are they? 

Social Walls are screens that display in real time all the information that comes from tracking Twitter hashtags.

Twitter is the only social network that allows you to get data from hashtags or keywords

Facebook and Instagram privacy policies don’t permit gathering this information. The only option on social media is to analyze hashtags or keywords on Twitter
