Codenamed Project Lightning, this project was an attempt at making Twitter easier to understand, especially if you\u2019re not a power user, or new to the platform entirely. \u201cWhen you jump into Twitter,\u201d says Madhu Muthukumar, a product manager at Twitter, \u201cthings are already mid-stream. Because you\u2019re not on Twitter most of the day. So when you get there, the odds that something started the second you got there is low.\u201d Internally, they thought providing a better sense of context and history might go a long way toward getting people up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>Great overview of Moments by David Pierce at Wired.
