Twitter’s “Moments” Will Try to Tame the Chaos
@...@Jack Dorsey*s future as chief executive of Twitter will ride on the answer to a single question: ©Can he persuade the world*s Facebook-addled masses to take a fresh look at the bewildering 140-character messaging service that he co-founded in 2006, a service that millions have already tried and abandoned?
@...@He is apparently keen to act fast//© A day after Twitter*s board appointed Mr// Dorsey as permanent chief executive, the company unveiled a long-awaited new feature aimed squarely at attracting people who now find Twitter too confusing to use// The feature, called Moments, attempts to transform Twitter*s chaotic timeline into a series of narratives that are easily navigated by people who aren*t indoctrinated into the service*s strange rituals//

@...@When you open Twitter on your phone or on the web, you will now see a new Moments section alongside the standard timeline// ©Tap it and you*ll be taken to a half-dozen or so headlines pointing to the big events currently being discussed on Twitter, like **Missing ship believed sunk** or **Clinton unveils guns proposal//** Tap again on one of these headlines and you will open that **moment,** which unfolds as a story told full-screen on a phone in a selection of tweets that have been arranged by a team of editors working for Twitter//
