You'll Be Able To Watch President Obama's Town Hall Without Leaving Twitter.com
Thanks to the recently launched (and now fully rolled out) New Twitter, you’ll be able to refresh your Twitter stream on the site while at the same time keeping a right-side pane open with a live video stream of the event. This type of event showcases why the two-pane system was a smart move for Twitter. And you can probably expect a lot more viewing opportunities like this in the future. “We worked with MTV to make sure the video will play live in the details pane,” a Twitter representative tells us.
Twitter says there isn’t a link for this live stream pane just yet, but says to watch the @MTV Twitter account for it.
The companies involved in the hour-long event today also worked with graphics house Stamen to make this awesome-looking Twitter tracker site. This site showcases the nearly 100,000 tweets related to the event so far. The top hashtags as of now: #myGreatestFear, #myGreatestHope, and #askForeignPolicy.
