Display Process
Once you get the tool in access, you have to create a feed or a wall within the twitter aggregating tool itself.
To create a wall, the hashtags and twitter account handles that are beneficial for our business, are to be entered in it, so that the content from them could be fetched in.
Once, the user-generated content starts getting collected, a social wall or a twitter feed will start taking a shape.
