We know that there are more than 280 characters for some discussions. and bringing people closer to the ideas, content and creators they know and love is vital to Twitter, wherever the conversation takes place.”
Redesigned Space tab with new features
Now with the new Podcasts feature, it has redesigned its Spaces tab to offer a more interactive experience. Under the redesigned spaces is the personal center called “Station”. These will show users’ recommendations on a variety of topics like news, music, sports, and more, based on users’ tastes. It will also display a personalized selection of live and recorded spaces. Also, it will get optimized as more users listen to it and spend time on it.
Users will now see three sections when they open the redesigned Spaces tab: Stations, Spotlight, and Upcoming Spaces. The stations will show individual content, the Space Spotlight section will include top audio content on the platform, and the third section will list upcoming Space.
Twitter Space launched in 2020
The micro-blogging site has added a new feature in 2020 called “Spaces” for having live audio conversations on Twitter. A host will start the space and Twitter users can join in and listen in on the conversation. If a host wishes, he can allow others to speak in space.
