Two discussions in to this Best Of marathon and I am very, very pleased with my co-hosts to date. Both Tom Luongo and Dr. Ben Hunt proved immensely entertaining and hugely informative. The X Spaces, on the other hand, has proven frustratingly buggy. As I posted…
The fact that the Spaces do not record by default is impractical, but the fact that they will still occasionally not record despite your toggling RECORD when creating your Space is downright ridiculous. The interface makes it too damn easy to accidentally mute speakers given the mute button’s proximity to other controls like speaker management. The notification system is spotty. Sometimes followers are notified about Spaces and sometimes they’re not. Listeners report being bounced from Spaces and then having trouble rejoining. The fact that we don’t have the option to host Spaces via desktop is inconvenient and, to be honest, kind of baffling. It would make things a hell of a lot easier all around, especially when dealing with interface issues. It’s been three years since X Spaces was rolled out and there’s been a notable lack of feature development or improvement regarding the aforementioned issues.
Will stick with it for now but am considering switching to another platform. Would prefer not to support either youtube or facebook and am not interested in the video feature, so not sure where I’ll land for next month’s Time Loopalooza marathon.
Speaking of which, here is the semi-final list of every time loop episode ever produced. Some are borderline. What do you think? Are there any that you feel don’t belong here?
