Twitter spaces and Clubhouse are the latest real-time audio chat rooms; let’s look at some of the unique attributes for both: Twitter spaces access: · Spaces is an added feature of Twitter, currently available on Android and iOS with planned desktop web access. · Twitter spaces are public and anyone can join. Clubhouse access: · Clubhouse is a standalone app for iOS users by invitation only. Twitter spaces contacts: · You have the choice of linking your contacts to Twitter. Since spaces is a Twitter add-on, it has the advantage of direct access to your social graph. Whenever someone you follow begins a space you can take part as a listener and or a speaker. Clubhouse contacts: · During the sign-up process, you’ll be asked for access to your personal contacts list before you can invite others to join. Twitter spaces features: · Spaces have specific emoji reactions, including waving and the peace sign. · It provides live audio subtitles, so you can keep up with the conversations without sound. · Shared tweets can be added to a Twitter space and used as a discussion point. · You can follow people without needing to leave the app. Clubhouse features: · Clubhouse has a workaround when reacting to comments, by rapidly muting/unmuting the microphone as applause. · Clubhouse is quite strict on using real names since the app doesn’t allow you to change your name easily, which can be reassuring. · Following people, since a clubhouse profile currently links to your Twitter or Instagram profile; you’ll need to leave the app to set that up. Twitter spaces account removal: · You can delete your Twitter account directly from the desktop web browser version of Twitter. Clubhouse account removal: · You’ll need to send an email to request the removal of your account, then wait for it to be processed.
