Twitter's next experiment dives into audio chat groups with Spaces

Twitter is on a roll lately, but what is the company trying to become?

What you need to know

Twitter is rolling out a new experiment called Spaces.
Spaces allows users to create groups for audio chats.
The feature is currently in a limited public test right now.

Twitter is no stranger to experiments. Lately, it's been trying out all sorts of things, some of which are catching on, like its divisive Snapchat-inspired Fleets. Some experiments, on the other hand, were a little questionable, such as the decision to replace retweets with quote tweets, only to bring retweets back again. Then there are some moves that Twitter makes that are headscratchers, like the recent decision to purchase Squad only to shut both it and Periscope down. As for this latest experiment, it's unclear what category to throw this in, but it's interesting.

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
