Twitter Moments - Follow along with current events

I love moments. The balloon animation is cool but unnecessary IMHO. I think all new twitter signups should automatically follow @MagicRecs and @TwitterMoments. It would be a 2015 version of my @MySpace's Tom but provided constant value.

this is the feature you call home about.

So awesome! This *should* help new users understand the real power of Twitter.

@allidryer @wwayneee great design work guys! I'm a huge fan of tile / cards as a way of digesting information, especially when trying to make instinctive decisions regarding content! One of my great frustrations with Twitter currently is it takes too long to understand what a content based tweet to a news article etc. This tells me exactly what's going on with auto playing videos etc, without the painful process of clicking through, waiting for a browser to load, then going back to Twitter again. Please throw this across the pond the UK asap! Early adopter here waiting to scream about it!

I'm excited about this. Go Twitter!

Weird. Downloaded the update, and while it mentioned Moments, I can't seem to access it in the app.

has gone live for me on the web st: https://twitter.com/i/moments

Love the editorial curation aspect of this -- once @Digg set the stage people started figuring out that it's not all about algorithmic curation, but the combination of computers and human editors. Ultimately how Twitter surfaces this content in-app (desktop web, and mobile) will be really interesting to see. That's where the boldness comes in methinks. Will moments be suggested next to a tweet that shows in-feed with a moment-related url? Or only in a separate area of the app? I wonder how big this gets, and if it does, if it will pose any cannibalisation risk to the sharing of links. I.e., how will people retweet / share moments? And what effect will this have on story consumption and sharing, and how will this affect services like @Digg Deeper and @Nuzzel? Exciting stuff! Congrats to the team that built this! Please make a beautiful Twitter conversation reading tool as well 😍

They shouldn't call in moments, as it is nothing more than a re-designed "what's trending". In any case, I like it.

I gotta be honest....I think this is going to be a bust. I liken this feature to Snapchat's Discover. And I'm not a Twitter hater either, I LOVE Twitter. I just wish they would fix the small things first (easier tagging of friends, editing tweets, search, etc). Moments is just too much content....same problem Snap Discover faces. When I open Twitter, I want quick hits, I want 140 chars from people I follow. As soon as I go to moments, I get overwhelmed but that could just be me. Also, just finished Hatching Twitter -- highly recommend to anyone!
