live-tweeting
Broadcasting events digitally
Live-tweeting is posting a running commentary on Twitter as an event unfolds in real time—a conference, TV show, sports game, or breaking news.
The practice creates a shared experience among followers watching the same thing: I'll be live-tweeting the debate tonight.
The term has outlasted Twitter's rebranding, still used even on other platforms.
