This means that tweets from that topic will appear in your timeline as they get added to the Moments page. You can also follow a particular ‘moment’ if you see the Follow button. There’s a menu on the left where you can select moments categorized by News, Sports, Entertainment, and Fun.

Reply, retweet, and like are all available from within the page itself. Once you’re in a specific ‘Moment’ you can interact with the content as you would with regular tweets.

If you clicked on that ‘Moment’ you would be taken to a page full of tweets and updates from both major media outlets, such as Sky News, and lesser-known accounts which may have posted some interesting footage or pictures from the event. So, for instance, on launch day there was a story for the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere. The stories will appear on the Moments tab as specific topics. As well as this, various media partners, reportedly including Buzzfeed, will provide Twitter with content to post on Moments. According to Geary, the team all have journalism backgrounds. The stories that appear on Moments are sourced by a dedicated team of Twitter employees who trawl the Twittersphere for breaking news. As Jo Geary, who runs Moments in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, explained at the launch event: “You probably won’t get baseball, you might get a bit of Trump.” If you’re in the UK, you will get content tailored specifically for your location, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get stories from elsewhere such as the US. You’ll see a guide listing all the current moments. You can find Moments by clicking or tapping the Moments lightning bolt tab on or in the Twitter app. It lets users stay up to date with the latest developments, events, and trending topics without having to follow tonnes of users.
