The central idea of Google Spaces is to share and comment on content on a common topic, it gives the feeling of an ideal space for collaborative group work, although it adapts perfectly to planning a trip, or other types of events.

  • You can create a space on any topic with the push of a button.
  • You can get a quick link to invite your family or friends in the way you want.
  • Google Search, Chrome, Photos and YouTube are all available. integrated into the sharing box.
  • Members of a space can comment on all posts.
  • You can quickly find the content you want in your spaces by searching by keyword.

Google clarifies that it is not a group messaging application, it is rather a social network-style publishing application that shares content by creating "spaces" or conversation rooms, with the possibility of sharing topics, stories, links and videos without having to leave the space. app.

It can be a great help to organize a trip, talk about topics of interest, share recipes, etc., for small groups of people and especially for groups of friends. All members of a space will be able to share posts, links, images and YouTube videos and comment on them.

Use

Its interface is beautiful and simple and that is why it is easy to use. It has a lower navigation menu that provides access to all our spaces, activity notifications and access to make a publication.

Creating each space is very easy and fast. Just click on "Create space", give it a name, color or a background image and invite our contacts via email or messaging. Google Space will share a link for our contacts to join our space.

Time will tell whether or not Google Spaces becomes an essential part of the development of content marketing strategies.

Versions

Spaces can be used on different platforms. It is available at:

Conclusion

While it has a modern interface and is easy to use, it was designed to work with other Google apps and not as an integrated concept. In my opinion, if it intends to be a collaborative (co-working) tool, it should allow the inclusion of other file types such as MP3, PDF, and other file formats that could be shared with the group.

Time will tell; for now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It will be a matter of refining the concept and improving it in a relatively short time. The truth is that the final word belongs to the users, and they are the ones who will catapult Spaces to success or condemn it to failure like so many other Google projects that never saw the light of day.
