Is Clubhouse The Next Big Thing in Social Media? — Polarity Technologies Ltd.

Clubhouse, the hot audio-only app everyone is talking about, was released less than a year ago. As Polarity Technologies has learned, the idea of the app was inspired by communities. Via Clubhouse people can join “rooms” full of people and participate in a variety of conversations. A different topic is being discussed in each room, so users can pick rooms based on the topics they are interested in.

What makes Clubhouse stand out from other social media apps available right now, is the fact that users can communicate in groups via voice only. No cameras on. New friendships can be built as people from all walks of life are finding common ground in the same virtual room.

Although Clubhouse has been built for everyone, the company stated that is not ready for a general release yet, therefore new users can join the app only via invitation at the moment. On top of that, the fact that the new app has already captured the attention of prominent figures, such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, has sparked even more FOMO.

According to Social Media Today, “As the hype has grown, so has the app’s audience, with Clubhouse going from 600,000 active users in December, to 2 million just over a month later.”
