If you've ever been to a conference or some sort of large event, you've probably seen a live Twitter stream in action. Up on a big screen in a prominent place, often the stage itself, the live stream tracks the relevant hashtags or keywords about the event, be it a conference, a panel, a meetup, or some other sort of heavily-tweeted gathering.

But sometimes there's an issue with displaying the raw, unfiltered tweets in this way: they can be disruptive. All it takes is one Twitter user trying to be funny - or, worse, a troll saying something rude - to take the discussion off course. Now there's a new solution to deal with this problem: Paratweet.

Today, Facebook is launching a new feature for webmasters to post a stream of relevant Facebook updates in real time.

The new feature, called a Live Stream Box, can run on sites "next to live streaming videos of concerts, speeches, sporting events, webcasts, TV shows, presentations, or webinars," according to an announcement we received via email. "Sites can also run the Live Stream Box in multi-player games or with any other experience where many people are visiting a website at the same time."
