Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) is what’s happening in the world right now. Each one is a collection of tweets, Vines, photos, and videos shared on the service created to provide a better understanding of what’s going on.
The Moments tab is now available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom and the United States.
Twitter is giving users an option to follow country specific Moments, which will last throughout the Games. You can also just opt to follow your favourite sports and events to see these Tweets in your timeline, or catch up on what you missed every day with recap Moments that will highlight results, medal counts and more. Vine will feature Olympics-related content in the Explore section on its mobile app, while Periscope will have a featured channel with Olympics-related content.
There will also be hashtags displaying emojis in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish.
“Twitter’s activation of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will bring fans around the world together to see what’s happening with the teams before, during and after the top athletes compete for glory”, said Leslie Berland, Twitter’s chief marketing officer, in a blog post on Tuesday.
Twitter, Vine and Periscope are ready for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games from Rio de Janeiro.
While Twitter has geared up for the Olympics, it’s not the only tech company out there trying to get your attention over the next couple of weeks. A new tab for the Rio Olympics will be added to Moments – and every platform the Twitter feature is available for – but now users will be able to pipe news from the tab and into their own timeline for the entirety of the Olympic Games, which run until August 21. Simply find the public streams you find most compelling and follow the.
