Obviously there is a string of disappointed Twitter users because it is not a tinder for cats. No, this is a First Dates a la Catalana. The new one trending to flirt on twitter. Yes, the network of fights and ‘haters’ now has a corner for romance. “A spontaneous space where to find love… and other things”, is described in his bill. Salseo twentysomething.

Gerry refers to the new Twitter Spaces: live audio conversations, along Clubhouse. “As a interactive podcast”, compare the tiktokero. Up to 13 people can talk at the same time.

Precisely, that is one of the reasons why this sauce is so addictive. “Being at 2 in the morning with 900 people with love dramas is wonderful & rdquor;, confessed a tweeter.
