News & Reviews:   Twitter Spaces

Since the takeover by Elon Musk, Twitter has been implementing various changes that many users of the platform are now a fan of. Well, the company has announced yet another change recently, this time the increase of the tweet limit to 10,000 characters for paid users.

In 2021, a service that trended for a time would be audio chat rooms. One of them is Twitter Spaces, which seems to be the more popular choice now. Its audio chat rooms previously had no recording function, but that's no longer the case.

By now, some of you may have tuned in to a Twitter Space or two. If you haven't, it's essentially Twitter's answer to Clubhouse, an audio chat room feature that lets you host live podcasts. The features big downside is that there's no in-app feature to record it, but that could be added soon.

Most social media platforms exist for us to follow the activities of others. But Twitter is interesting in that it's based heavily on conversations. That's why it's not that surprising to see the company come up with a new font for its platform.

Audio-only chat rooms have become the latest trend, with many companies looking to emulate the concept. For instance, there's the Twitter Spaces that was first released in India back in February. Now, Twitter is ready for a wider rollout.

Not content with being an app just for posting short messages, Twitter has been gradually been adding more features. The platform added a Stories-like feature back in November 2020, but now it's in the midst of testing something interesting - audio chat rooms.
