I definitely use my  timeline to get a <i>pulse</i> of what&#x27;s going on in the world from the people I follow. I want to hear what&#x27;s on <i>their</i> mind specifically. I use search or hashtags sometimes, but more often than not I&#x27;m just looking through my feed and if I feel the need to dig deeper, I use search&#x2F;hashtags. So yes, I do follow live events through my home timeline.<p>It&#x27;s important to note that I follow accounts like @NBA or @Warriors which predictably tweets during important live moments so I often get exactly what I&#x27;m looking for. It all depends on who you follow. I&#x27;ve curated my follow list to be perfect for my usage, so it works well for me. It really all depends on how you&#x27;ve curated your follow list, so I can see why you might think that people rarely follow live events from their feed, but I just don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s entirely true (of course, neither of us have the numbers to back either of our claims so we are merely speculating).<p>Example: Warriors game is on. I fire up Twitter and look through my home feed and I get tweets from @Warriors play by play interspersed with reactions from other accounts that I follow like Bill Simmons or certain players or celebrities. It&#x27;s a predictable experience that way and doesn&#x27;t require search.
