Twitter Stage is a front-row seat at major events in tweet form

Twitter has launched a new account to live-tweet major events. The social network has long been a
platform for users and publishers to share updates in real time, and Twitter is finally getting into the
game itself — starting with the Tony Awards.

Dubbed Twitter Stage , the account shared memorable moments from the awards ceremony for Broadway theater, including a close-up of
Bryan Cranston and updates on award winners like Helen Mirren, who received the first Tony of the
evening.

better interface for displaying tagged tweets, images and video, Twitter seems set to offer real- time event coverage in earnest.

We’ve contacted Twitter to find out more about its latest account and will update this post when we
hear back.
