【Green Bones (2024)】

Nothing pairs with your pinot and Green Bones (2024)gruyère quite like a Twitter test feature.

The social media company that brought you the fleet is back at it again with a new addition it hopes will, when done right, "feel like a well hosted dinner party." Say hello to Spaces, which Twitter describes as moderated audio conversations between users.

Twitter announced Spaces Thursday morning, and the test might be seen as a natural progression of its work in the audio space. However, unlike voice tweets, Spaces gives hosts the ability to both invite and mute participants.

"people in the [limited test] group will be able to create Spaces for their followers and other people on twitter to join," the company explained in a laidback, lower-case, dinner-party style. "they'll have full control over who can/cannot speak in their space."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Notably, according to Twitter, any user can join a Space when it's live. However, not everyone can create one (at least for now).

"Spaces is limited to a very small group of people on iOS for now," a spokesperson explained over email. "Up to 10 people can be invited to speak in this early version."

In that way, Spaces is very much like a contemporary dinner party. That is to say, you're likely not going to be able to throw one anytime soon.
