The hype around Clubhouse has died down, but the developments around live audio on social media continue. Meanwhile, Twitter, Facebook and Spotify are working hard. In this article I will tell you about these new features and apps.
Let’s start with Twitter Spaces. This feature was launched in May, after several months of beta testing. For now, you need to have a public account with at least 600 followers to create your own Twitter Spaces. Twitter gives the following reason on their blog:
“ Based on what we've learned so far, these accounts are likely to have a good experience hosting live conversations because of their existing audience. Before bringing the ability to create a Space to everyone, we're focused on learning more, making it easier to discover Spaces, and helping people enjoy them with a great audience .”
Twitter Spaces is available within the Twitter app for iOS and Android. You can also buy bulk sms service listen in on desktop, but not participate in the conversation. This is also a potential advantage of Twitter over Clubhouse: because Spaces are located within the Twitter environment, you can use a larger reach, especially if you already have a lot of followers.
