On the day Moments was released, I followed the "Moment" of the Astros-Royals Wild Card (baseball) game. I loved it - it pulled relevant tweets into my timeline and let me follow the game with people doing the same thing around the world. When the game was over, those tweets (and users) were gone from my feed. It was perfect.
Then, the next night, I wanted to do the same thing for the Cubs-Pirates Wild Card (baseball) game, only it was never a "live" moment on Twitter.
Right now, the Blue Jays are playing the Rangers in a "win or go home" situation, but again it's not even a live event for me to follow.
I love Moments from a product perspective, but I can't help but think this was rushed out too soon - right now, there are only two "live" moments. And because it's been rushed out, I can't help but think it's going to cause the same problem Twitter has been trying to fix - that users are going to try it, not get it, and never come back.
Moments should be about _live_ content. It seems focused on things that were a moment earlier in the day or week.
