Super dig these and love the presentation, it's just quite disappointing that Twitter is restricting it to US-only at launch. I'm loving the idea of using these for things like Apple Events, to curate tweets and offer a way to slot them into people's timelines temporarily -- could really help reduce the noise.

@ow US-only *sigh*. We're always treated as second class digital citizens in Canada 🍁 we tweet too eh?

@robjama @ow We thought long and hard about launching in Canada - the engineering team is disproportionately Canadian, but we wanted to test in the US first where we had more on the ground expertise. Also, we weren't ready to deliver a multi-lingual experience at launch.

@blackmad @ow But what about people who read in English anyway, would love to be able to opt in order to get the tab. I'm in France but I consume contents mostly in English. Other than that, I love the interaction design!

@blackmad @ow That's fair. The feature looks awesome! I wonder if it would have helped to soft launch it quietly instead of a public post and press push or soften the blow a bit by announcing rough timelines for different regions like Apple does.

@robjama @ow We've got a lot of Canadians on our team -- I promise Canada isn't forgotten. We'll be there soon!

@justmadhu @ow That said, we don't have mini canadian flags for the team, only mini armenian ones.

@ow Completely agree with how this could help reduce the noise of live events. I have a love/hate relationship with the firehouse during live events. It can be great sometimes, but also distracting if the quality of tweets is poor.
