Project Lightning Will Be Twitter's Place For Live Streaming, Even NFL Games

According to the Wall Street Journal, in the project’s current form, a “live” tab, with a lightning bolt icon, will be placed on Twitter’s mobile app. Clicking on the icon will take a user to a guide of “events” that could include the premiere of a TV show, an NFL game, or a breaking-news event such as election results. Tapping on an event will surface full-screen views of videos, photos and tweets related to that topic—unlike the waterfall of tweets that currently appear in users’ timelines.
