Twitter decided to put an end to Fleets, its particular adaptation of the popular stories that we see even on TikTok, because it didn't see much of a future for it. However, with Twitter Spaces (its audio rooms) things change and the company announced interesting improvements that show that the bet is much more serious and that, again, a good part of the The future of social networks goes through audio and video and not so much the text.
New improvements for Twitter Spaces
Twitter launched a matter of months ago Twitter Spaces, the alternative to Clubhouse that it has almost swept away and positioned itself as the first of the options for this new mode of live communication, although it really isn't as new as many might imagine. After all, it's just a live audio or conversation program.
Well, interesting news is now coming to these audio rooms that are being created and are accessible directly from Twitter that will help to further promote their use. And most importantly, it may still be the reason why they decided to end the Twitter Fleets. Because when investing resources, better in this tool that seems to have more acceptance than the particular version of the stories that were released not long ago.
However, let's get down to business and talk about what these news introduced by Twitter to its Twitter Spaces. As you can see below, they seem like little, but the truth is that those who use it regularly and already have a certain impact with each room will really do well.

As you have seen in the tweet published by the company, the three main news of Twitter Spaces are the following:
- possibility of invite two co-hosts. This is something important and, above all, very useful for those who organize or create the audio room, since it allows them to download certain tasks
- The Twitter Spaces audio rooms will therefore now be made up of the main host, the two co-hosts and up to 10 speakers.
- Co-hosts will play a fundamental role for many of these rooms as they will have the ability to help invite other speakers or participants in it, manage responses, remove those participants they deem appropriate and even pin tweets and much more.
In other words, with these new features, what Twitter does is further promote the use of Twitter Spaces and provide those who are already taking advantage of it to work more comfortably. Because the help that two co-hosts can provide when carrying out certain tasks will allow them to focus on the conversation they have created, on the guests and on the content, which is what really makes this form of communication implemented by Twitter interesting in their platform and that goes beyond the text.
Goodbye Twitter Fleets, hello Space Bar
Together with these changes applied to Twitter Spaces and also motivated by the closure of the Fleets that took place a few days ago, now the bar or upper space of Twitter is renamed Space Bar.
What does this mean? Well, that space that was left free will now be occupied by the rooms and from there it will even be possible to create new ones. So it seems to indicate that for Twitter in the end the product that Spaces generates is much more attractive than its stories were or could have become.
Now we just need to see how it continues to evolve, but if both audio and video are going to play (already play) a fundamental role in social networks, it is clear that the topic of these Twitter soundtracks is important.
After all, Twitter is the social network where you will find out what is happening, many times before the news is released on other sites. So it makes sense that to listen live, you would also go there.
