now, everyone with 600 or more followers can host a Space.
based on what we've learned, these accounts are likely to have a good experience hosting because of their existing audience. before bringing the ability to create a Space to everyone, we’re focused on a few things. 🧵
we created Spaces to bring people together in an intimate way to share thoughts and tweets with the power that only the human voice can bring. Spaces is now available to millions of people but the work is not finished bc it is part of a bigger vision built with you, our community
we're focused on learning more, making it easier to discover Spaces, and helping everyone enjoy them with an engaged audience. here are some features we're working on:
- Ticketed Spaces
- Co-hosting
- Scheduling
- More block labels + warnings
- Improved captions
Ticketed Spaces: we’re working on a way for hosts to be rewarded for the experiences they create and for listeners to have exclusive access to the convos they care about most. soon, we’ll test ticketed Spaces with a small group where hosts can set ticket prices and quantity
Co-hosting: sometimes, it’s fun to host a Space with other people. or you may want help selecting people to speak. soon, you’ll have the ability to choose up to two other people to manage participants and info about the Space, such as the title and description.
Scheduling: no more setting your own alarms. we're building a way to schedule a Space. this way, you can sign up to get notified when it begins.
right now, everyone can listen to Spaces on iOS or Android and we're adding the ability to host for more people every day.
aye we’re live! what up y’all, we're the team behind Spaces––a small experiment focused on the intimacy of the human voice🧵
the human voice can bring a layer of connectivity to twitter through emotion, nuance and empathy often lost in text. we see this with voice tweets & voice dms. sometimes 280 isn't enough, and voice gives people another way to join the conversation.
our new experiment brings people together to connect directly in an intimate, conversational Space.
we imagine the best Spaces to feel like a well hosted dinner party. y’all rolling your eyes, we know. but stay with us!
