The New Twitter Custom Timeline – What’s in it for Events

Twitter just launched the new Custom Timeline on Tuesday. It is designed to give you more control over how your tweets are organised and delivered on the Twitter Platform. Imagine if you can filter and create a timeline based on your own criteria, your own target audience, your own messaging, planned or unplanned.

What can you do with Custom Timelines?

With more control over custom timelines, you can share the best tweets about your event, create a Q&A twitter style on a topic that matters to your event audience, or simply, the best moments of the event (think: highlight reels from NBA?)

Below is an example of how Politico organise the best Tweets from policy industry experts in this new Tweet Hub, where they created 3 custom timelines to create conversations from reporters, influencers and lawmakers from the Energy industry.
