The Twitter social network intends to expand the potential audience of Spaces audio chats. It no longer requires authentication and account registration — chat hosts and listeners/participants can send everyone direct links that allow them to listen to the broadcast and the conversations that accompany it.
You won't be able to participate in conversations, but the innovation will allow Twitter to attract more listeners, and potentially attract even more users.
Останнім часом на порталі соціальної мережі з’являється все більше нових сервісів. Так, у липні Twitter дозволив відправляти нові твіти прямо з аудіочата з посиланням на бесіду та супутніми хештегами, а наприкінці жовтня функція голосових чатів стала доступною всім користувачам без обмеження кількості передплатників.
Twitter also provided a new option for those who could not listen to the live stream/chat. And now, a limited number of iOS users can record sessions and share links for 30 days, and the visitor platform can listen to the recording at any time.
have friends not on Twitter? that's weird but now you can share direct links to your Spaces and they can listen in via the web without being logged in

Twitter will give subscribers early access to new features
Twitter regularly tests new features before full deployment. Now, the company has decided to create a new way for users to access the implemented features before others. Twitter announced Wednesday that subscribers to its paid Twitter Blue service will get early access to some new features through the Labs banner. This is similar to Google's approach, which offers richer features for YouTube Premium subscribers.
Currently exclusive features for Twitter Blue users include pinned conversations for iOS, as well as the ability to host longer videos from the desktop. The social network will inform users about access to new features on the official Twitter Blue page.
It is worth noting that at the moment only users of social networks who use iOS devices and live in Canada and Australia can subscribe to Twitter Blue, so that Labs functions are still available to a narrow circle of people. Twitter promises that Labs will be available in other countries soon. The company says on its website that the Twitter Blue subscription will be widely available in the near future.
Окремо варто згадати, що користувачі Twitter тепер можуть бачити прев’ю посилань Instagram у твітах. Тепер твіти показують не тільки URL-адресу публікації в Instagram, але також зображення, на яке вказує посилання.
