Instagram Curating Videos About Live Events
Fortune magazine reports that Instagram has begun to curate video content of live events, for example, sports events and award shows.
The Golden Globe Award Show on Sunday was where it started. Viewers can access the special streams of video via the Explore section of the Instagram app, where a banner with the name of the event is positioned at the top of the section.
Seems Instagram do not want to be left behind by the likes of Snapchat with their Live Story feature and Twitter with their ‘Moments’.
