What is Clubhouse? A Primer

You may have heard about the new social media app called Clubhouse.

I had heard about it vaguely through some non-professional channels. A few entertainment podcasts I listened to. Never paid much attention and I’ve pretty much detoxed from social media since the 2016 election.

So I hopped on thinking this would be another fad I’ll try for a week then get bored.

2 weeks later and I’m an addict.

I’m old enough to remember party lines from the 90’s. This is the 21st century version.

I think it’s an absolute game changer and I wanted to write an article getting my thoughts out now that I’m about two weeks into using the app.

A new social media platform featuring live-talk and conversations centered around specific topics. The app does not allow text, video, or photo sharing and all rooms are voice-only. You can join the audience and listen to the nuggets of information being shared, or raise your hand for a chance to get on stage and participate in the conversation.

FOR NOW IPHONE ONLY

Here’s some quick tips for all CH newbies:

My take on why CH is a hit:

I heard CH is already the stickiest app ever. People are spending more time inside the app than anything before. There’s a reason for that.

What say you? Are you a user? What do you like/dislike about it? Anyone interested in hopping in a room and discussing further? Who needs an invite? How do you think platform evolves?

Really curious to hear your thoughts!!!
