 Twitter just got the rights to broadcast all NFL Thursday games. http://www.bbc.com/sport/american-football/35970379 So I couldn't care less about the NFL, but what I am wondering is... how is Twitter going to monetize this? I mean, now that I know Twitter shows stuff... I still have no idea how I would go about watching or finding anything! As an interested possible Twitter viewer, as a long term Twitter user, I don't have the first clue how to use their service to consume this content that they are spending a fortune to get the rights to.
