Founder here. We (Eventjoy) unbundled our Activity Walls experience and rolled it out as a separate product with a super simple onboarding. Happy to answer any questions.
@toddg777 Interesting in terms of the unbundling. Seems like it would be a good inbound lead tool as well.
What role has the apparent success of @Tagboard played in you guys releasing this tool. Competition?
*disclosure I'm a happy customer of Tagboard :)
@BlendahTom Spot on. The two goals of this were 1) to provide a minimal approach to creating a social media wall (even simplier than our creation flow for Eventjoy.com) and 2) use it as a lead gen tool.
Competition was not a driving factor in this strategy. It was user driven and a potential growth opportunity. We're not trying to create the most robust, feature packed social media display. We just wanted to create something simple. Plus, it was a fun weekend hack.
@toddg777 Activity wall is probably the easiest way to set up social media displays out of all the above listed apps. Was able to set it up in a few steps.
@kwdinc Thanks. Would your experience have been any different if you weren't able to/aware of the ability to select colors during the onboarding?

@toddg777 i guess no.Would have been one less step. I would like to see the activity wall and then change the color. So it propably can be moved there!
@netspencer Thanks Spencer! This is one of the reasons why we unbundled. Some of our users wanted just this feature and it made sense to strip the creation flow down to the bare minimum. You could even argue the color selector is unnecessary during creation. We're going to A/B test it :)
@KristoferTM - Well we just launched this version, but an older version of the Activity Walls was used on a Jumbotron for a conference that was partially held in a college football stadium. Not a completely fair comparison, but it still was exciting :) http://imgur.com/MYHjZR1@kwdinc - Lots of other cool similar and not similar things in the space. We're not trying to be the best social media content aggregation tool in the world, but this is a nice, easy tool for our organizers to bring social media to any event.
@rrhoover - Good point, others have mentioned similar. Hashtags are the most relevant for an event context (target market), but this sounds cool. Maybe an optional setting on the "customization" page to add queries?
@toddg777 that's what I was thinking. It doesn't have to clutter the primary use case and on-boarding flow but could be an easy addition to serve the use case I described.
Some fun facts about yesterday's launch on Product Hunt.
- While we posted this on the Eventjoy Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn channels, Product Hunt was the only significant source of traffic (> 95%).
- We made top 5 yesterday and were featured in this morning's newsletter. At the time we received the email, we instantly saw a few hundred people on the site. We're still seeing a good amount of traffic from it.
- Since launch (7/9), we've seen over 2,200 visitors who've created over 600 walls.
Product Hunt rocks.

I remember suggesting something like this for my buddy to have at his wedding. Great job on this!
What's one of the more interesting events you know of that this was used at?
