The new feature, called \u201cHappening Now,\u201d appears at the top of your timeline and aggregates tweets about a certain event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">The Happening Now section showcases events in a card-style interface. It\u2019s currently targeted primarily towards sporting events, but Twitter says it will expand to other areas in the near future. Others potentially interesting topics could be breaking news stories, award shows, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">As you can see in the demo GIF below, once you tap on a sporting event in the Happening Now tiles, you\u2019ll see scoring information along the top and then a feed of other tweets about the same event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">You may see events featured at the top of your timeline labeled as Happening now. When available, we\u2019ll show you events and topics we think you might be interested in when you open your Twitter for iOS or Android app. Tap the icon to view why we think you\u2019ll be interested in the event, or to hide the event from your timeline. Tap the photo to view conversation surrounding the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Happening Now sounds sort of like a revised take on Twitter\u2019s Moments, but there are some differences. For instance, Moments is a collection of aggregated tweets that generally tell a story from start to finish. Happening Now, however, is simply a feed of other tweets that all pertain to the same event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Twitter yesterday teased a new \u2018save for later\u2019 feature that it is currently in the process of developing. This feature will make it easier for users to privately save a tweet and go back to it at a later time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Happening Now is rolling out today to Twitter\u2019s apps on iOS and Android.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/gearsofbiz.com\/twitter-announces-new-happening-now-feature-to-highlight-event-specific-tweets-update\/118620<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/twitter-announces-new-happening-now-feature-to-highlight-event-specific-tweets-update.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter announces new &#8216;Happening Now&#8217; feature to highlight event-specific tweets [Update] Twitter announces new \u2018Happening Now\u2019 feature to highlight event-specific tweets [Update]:- Twitter today announced a new feature coming to its iOS and Android apps that makes it easier for users to follow a specific ongoing event.
