Clubhouse room creators can record conversations and make them available for people to listen to later. Clubhouse is changing the name of the game by allowing hosts to record chats so Clubhouse users can listen to them later versus tuning in for a live discussion.First teased in September, the Replays feature is now rolling out on iOS and Android and also allows Clubhouse hosts to post chats on rival apps and third-party sites. Room creators will have to enable the record function before starting a chat; otherwise, it disappears after the discussion is done as usual, Clubhouse explains in a blog post. Tweet Not only will the audio from each speaker get recorded, but the audience details, Pinned Links, and details on who’s speaking all get saved. Replays offer audience members the ability to skip forward by 30 seconds or jump to the next speaker.  » Read More

As Telegram continues to gain more users, thanks to frequent issues with WhatsApp, the company has been adding various new features every month. Now, as per a recent announcement from Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov, the messaging platform is planning to introduce an “inexpensive” subscription service to disable ads for users. The announcement came from Durov over the weekend on his official Telegram channel. According to the CEO, Telegram will allow users with large channels (over 1000 subscribed users) to disable ads via a subscription service. This way, users will be able to directly financially support the app’s development, without being bombarded with advertisements on their channels. So, coming to the deets, the new feature will come “in the form of an inexpensive subscription” that will allow any user to disable official advertisements on Telegram. Furthermore, some channel creators will be able to “turn off” advertisements for all users on their channels by paying a monthly or annual subscription fee.  » Read More

(By Loyd Ford) You are a brand or you are a commodity. This is the same for you as it is for the radio stations you sell. Become a brand. Join a local networking group, bring that networking group into your sphere of influence. I always think radio should use its own power to connect and promote a local networking group (get in front of a parade). Imagine a world were the most influential advertisers in your market were working on ideas with you. Imagine you are helping promote the group and allow your brands to be at the center of those groups. Put your brands IN networking. Become the salesperson in your cluster with the largest on-line presence. Ask your company if you can create a website for referrals. If you have the skills, create a blog attached to this website that focuses on ways business owners and others can improve their opportunities to grow new customers, create opportunity to bring regular customers back more often and more.  » Read More

Paul Davison comes bounding onto the video call with an enthusiastic grin and a wave. It’s early morning in San Francisco and he has been up since dawn. The chief executive of Clubhouse has been presenting to his cohort of 85 staff around the world as it launches in 13 new languages. It is a testament to the company’s lightning-fast growth, having launched with just two staff members - Davison and his co-founder Rohan Seth - at the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Clubhouse allows users to log into audio-only chat rooms, similar to a talk radio experience. Hosts can choose topics and invite friends or strangers into chats and debates where they set the rules and “pass the mic” to others. It proved a Covid breakout hit, becoming a household name overnight. Stuck at home, people took to the app to chat and socialise while politicians used it to host forums and celebrities to engage with fans. The app now has over 34m downloads according to analysts Sensortower,  » Read More

It's not clear at this time how the fire started or if there are any injuries although squatters have been present at the location. "Looks like there is some evidence that people have been in the building but we're still investigating. So obviously the damage the whole back end is so great. So yeah, it's pretty extensive damage to the back end. Fire did get inside. Whether it started inside or it started outside. We're not sure yet," says District Chief Shawn Davis.

Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the weekly TechCrunch series that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy. The app industry continues to grow, with a record 218 billion downloads and $143 billion in global consumer spend in 2020. Consumers last year also spent 3.5 trillion minutes using apps on Android devices alone. And in the U.S., app usage surged ahead of the time spent watching live TV. Currently, the average American watches 3.7 hours of live TV per day, but now spends four hours per day on their mobile devices. Apps aren’t just a way to pass idle hours — they’re also a big business. In 2019, mobile-first companies had a combined $544 billion valuation, 6.5x higher than those without a mobile focus. In 2020, investors poured $73 billion in capital into mobile companies — a figure that’s up 27% year-over-year. This Week in Apps offers a way to keep up with this fast-moving industry in one place with the latest from the world of apps,  » Read More

San Francisco: Micro-blogging site Twitter is rolling out the ability for users to share direct links to their Spaces to let others tune into a live audio session via the web without being logged into the platform. The social media giant said the new functionality is aimed at Spaces users who have friends that are not on Twitter but would still want to listen in on a Space. The expansion opens up Twitter Spaces to even more people and gives the social media giant a better chance of reaching new outside of its platform, reports TechCrunch. The new functionality also gives Twitter Spaces an edge over rivals like Clubhouse and Facebook’s Live Audio Rooms. Twitter has been introducing several features over the past few months to streamline Spaces and garner more users. Last week, the company launched a Spaces Recording feature to testers on iOS, with a global launch to follow. The feature gives hosts the ability to select a new “Record Space” setting before starting a live audio session.  » Read More
