Twitter Debuts ‘Moments’ Curation Tool, Formerly Called ‘Project Lightning’

Twitter’s code-named ‘Project Lightning’ feature is finally here.

The microblogging site on Tuesday said its new curation feature, officially called ‘Moments,’ is now rolling out to users in the U.S. across the iPhone, Android and the Web. Twitter product manager Madhu Muthukumar said in a post that Moments is a way to see the “best of what’s happening on Twitter in an instant.” The tool packages full-bleed images, autoplay videos, GIFs and Vines into a continuous story based around a live event, cultural meme or interesting conversation on Twitter. Tapping on a lightning blot tab in the app takes users to a continually-updated list of Moments highlighted by Twitter’s curation team. Users can also find additional moments by tapping on topic pages such as entertainment or sports. While aspects of the feature are designed specifically for following live events, the tool also allows users to view Moments from the past few days.
