You can scroll to view Moments collection you want. You will see the collection of content gathered from Periscope, Vine and Twitter on that particular topic. You can set favorite or re-tweet content as you do normally. At the end, Moments gives you option to share the content gathered from various resources.
What I like best in Moments that they get updated in real time. It is extremely good when it comes to see breaking news stories.
