Simply put, accessing Spaces will no longer require a Twitter account sign-up, thus making it widely available to everyone. One caveat here is that although such users can listen to Spaces, they cannot participate in the conversations (via). Starting this week, Spaces hosts can send a direct link to anybody on the web for them to start listening in. This feature only works on the web version, however.
Twitter recently announced its version of Facebook Groups, known as Communities
Last week, Twitter introduced the ability to record and share their Spaces. Although this feature is available only for a small number of hosts, a wider expansion is expected over the coming weeks. The recording feature is currently available for hosts on iOS, but both Android and iOS users can listen to recorded Spaces. Twitter also allows all account holders to create their own Spaces. The feature was previously limited to users with 600 or more followers. It’s no secret that Twitter is experimenting with a couple of new features to stay in sync with the industry. The company’s take on Facebook Groups, known as Communities, was launched in September this year. Twitter called this an “alternate timeline” for like-minded people to connect and interact with each other. Similar to Facebook’s implementation, Communities rely on user moderation. The feature is still in its nascent stages and is an invite-only offering right now. The company said it would implement more ways to join Communities shortly. Meanwhile, moderators can send unlimited invites while they also have the authority to remove any member. On the other hand, members of Twitter Communities can send up to five invites. Twitter also released Super Follows a couple of months ago, allowing creators to generate revenue from their subscribers in exchange for exclusive content or tweets. Pricing tiers include $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99/month. Followers who subscribe get a Super Followers badge on their profile.
