All accounts with more than 600 subscribers will now be able to have “Spaces” Twitter announced on Monday.
The social network follows in the footsteps of Clubhouse, the social networking application that allows several people to converse.
A service available by invitation, by co-option.
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.

Last March, Twitter opened “Spaces”, a service that allows users to create live audio chat rooms.
But since the launch of the service, only a few users had access to this feature.
Twitter has therefore decided to give the possibility of a discussion space on the platform.
Blocked users do not have access
To create your space, you must go through the application on Android and iOS and have the latest update. The bubble that creates this conversational place is purple. Once the discussion is created, all users can access it uninvited, except those who have been blocked. The discussion can be moderated by dismissing a participant. The moments of discussion are recorded and stored momentarily by the social network in order to be able to manage any disputes, specifies

The functions offered by "Spaces" are currently sketchy, but Twitter plans to improve its service very soon.
In particular, they can be highlighted above the timeline and will be surrounded by a purple halo to be easily identifiable.
The possibility of co-facilitating discussions will soon be offered, similar to what Clubhouse is doing.
The monetization of this space is also in the pipeline.
