Live events have been a big part of Twitter’s core focus ever since Jack Dorsey reassumed control of the company as chief executive. “We believe we have a leadership position in it,” he remarked during its first quarter 2016 earnings call. “But it’s not just about showing a live event, it’s also hosting a conversation around a live event. Twitter has always been the best place to see what’s happening immediately, instantly, to bring people around a particular shared experience.” – Ken Yeung, VentureBeat http://ift.tt/2bJyBQW
