Twitter launched a new aspect to its company on Thursday, as they streamed their first live event. The Wimbledon Tennis Tournament was streamed live Thursday on Twitter’s website, and app. The company has actually signed a contract with the NFL and will now be streaming American football games live. Their new partnership with ESPN, the actual broadcasters, will allow them to stream these events. Their new deal averaged at about 10 million for 10 NFL games. Twitter allows comments and stickers for all audiences watching the games.
