live tweets
Broadcast-as-it-happens posts
Live tweets are real-time posts on social media, especially Twitter/X, providing running commentary as an event unfolds.
Someone might live tweet a conference, a TV premiere, or a political debate, sharing reactions and updates as they happen: I'll be live tweeting the awards show tonight.
The practice creates a shared experience among followers watching simultaneously.
