The fact that I have to rely upon a news site with some of the worst IN YOUR FACE ad UI to embed each tweet in this conversation thread individually is pretty damning for Twitter. Why can't I organically discover / follow this on Twitter itself? It really had so much potential for being the heartbeat of the Internet, and maybe for an age it was. However, they never innovated or evolved leaving their biggest innovation to be "140 characters".

This is exactly what Twitter's "moments" feature is for, I'd be surprised if it wasn't featured there at one point.

How do I access the moments feature. There is nothing on the homepage about moments. Doing a simple text search on the page turns up nothing.

Doing a Google search for "twitter moments" results in the about page, again with no info on how to access the feature. This is followed by some news articles saying moments has been replaced by an "explore" tab, which I again can't find.

No wonder twitter is going down the drain. :-(

On twitter.com it's the second of four items in the navbar at the top: Home, Moments, Notifications, and Messages.

There is no such tab for me.

Are you signed in? The top navbar is only present if you're signed in[1], otherwise you should see "Moments" as the top contents of Featured[2].

If you're signed in and don't see it perhaps when Moments first came out a couple years ago you installed one of the various addons to hide it and don't remember it?

I don't have it either. I have a 'moments' link on my profile page, not on my feed, but as I have not created any 'moments' for myself, it's just a blank page telling me what they are.

> Click on the Moments tab to see customized Moments from Today.
