Finally, finally
We already knew this day was coming: in August, Twitter stretched entrance to Moments
Moments, by approach of background, was previously code-named Project Lightning. It initial launched a year ago
Of course, it’s rather peculiar that Moments wasn’t a user-facing underline from day one. There’s already such a need for a approach to aggregate collections of tweets into a cohesive story, that third parties like Storify stepped in prolonged ago with their possess collection for a task.
Plus, by approach of crowdsourcing, Twitter could have tapped into other ongoing trends like “tweetstorms” (longer thoughts told as a array of tweets), and shifted those to Moments, potentially augmenting clicks and rendezvous numbers. User-facing Moments could even have led to viral hits or memes. (Perhaps, those will still come about now that a apparatus is open to anyone.)

To emanate your possess Moment, you’ll click into a new “Moments” add-on on your profile.
Here you’ll find a collection of a Moments you’ve already created, alongside a symbol to emanate a new one. The apparatus lets we set a “Cover” regulating photos or videos from tweets, or an picture of your choosing. Afterwards, we can find tweets to supplement in a accumulation of ways.
You can lift tweets from your favorites (“Tweets I’ve liked”), by account, around a Twitter search, or we can supplement them directly regulating a tweet’s link. The interface looks to be a lot quicker than regulating Storify’s origination tools, as it turns out. And when you’re finished, we can share your Moment around tweet. Others can afterwards flip by your Moment right on Twitter, or hide it elsewhere on a web.
