Twitter makes Spaces available to the public
Twitter has rolled out Spaces to more accounts, with Twitter accounts over 600 followers now able to host the live audio conversations.
Other notable live audio social media platform Clubhouse was founded last year. However, unlike Twitter, at present to join Clubhouse members need to be invited by other members to join the platform.
Previous to this announcement, Spaces was available to a small group of users to learn and gather feedback.
To join a Space, a Twitter user will see a purple bubble at the top of their timeline while it’s live. Listeners can react with emojis and can request to speak, but cannot speak unless the host gives them permission.
