Much as I respect Thompson&#x27;s insights (his Stratechery newsletter is worth subscribing to), I think that he&#x27;s off base with this analysis. Moments seems to be one of those products that media-watchers like, but that actual users don&#x27;t really care for. I wrote a post on the reasons why I think Moments will fail (or at least not contribute meaningfully to user acquisition) [1], the main points being that Twitter users are not interested in curation, they are interested in sharing real-time information; and the tweet format is not good for curation -- it&#x27;s designed for real-time information, not for the past. Curation implies context, and there&#x27;s little context in 140 characters. In defending Moments others have said it&#x27;s like Circa. The only problem with that argument is that Circa failed. Twitter needs to concentrate on product extensions that work with the real-time nature of the content.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;newslines.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;a-momentary-lapse-of-reason&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;newslines.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;a-momentary-lapse-of-reason&#x2F;</a>
