【科技】Facebook推出實時語音聊天室「Live Audio Rooms」 傳咗好耐嘅Facebook版Clubhouse，近日終於公開成品「Live Audio Rooms」，功能就同大受歡迎嘅Clubhouse一樣，用戶可以建立或加入聊天室同其他人吹水。除此之外，Facebook將會推出新功能「Soundbites」（圖2），用戶能夠以短音訊形式發文，並支持特效、文字記錄等工具。 （圖3） 另外，Facebook將會喺App內新增Podcast播放器，等用戶可以唔使切換App就可以直接收聽及下載Podcast。根據Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg近日表示，相關功能將會擴展到音樂串流程式Spotify，用戶第時可以用Facebook App同時收聽Spotify音樂，對於收費及免費用戶將提供不同選項。 （圖4） 雖然「Live Audio Rooms」簡單嚟講只不過係一個「翻版」Clubhouse，但唔同嘅地方在於佢可以畀用戶打賞創作者，從而激勵創作者製作更多有趣內容，建立個人品牌。 相關功能預計會喺未來幾個月正式推出，當中Podcast播放器將會較早推出。 #Facebook
