Twitter hints at live events filter and response to cyberbullying
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo has hinted that the platform is working on new features including a response to cyberbullying and a ‘DVR mode’ live event filter.
Speaking at the Centre for Technology Innovation at Brookings, Costolo talked about a live event tool which will offer the ability to pull highlights so fans can "follow along with Twitter in a DVR mode".
He added: “That ability to track and monitor the moments within an event, either as they happen or to catch up with them, is something we want to enhance. We want to make that experience even better, curating the moments within the event, the media from it, and making it that much easier to navigate.
“It would be nice to see things like a graphic of spikes in the conversation, what time they happened…and be able to scroll back to that time to see what happened at that particular moment.”
