While it paved the way for audio-only social apps and features, Clubhouse is now trying to get ahead of its rivals like Twitter Spaces and Facebook Live Audio Rooms. One way to beat the bigger brands is to introduce new features that they haven’t explored yet and it looks like that’s what Clubhouse is doing. The latest feature update includes several new things that users can do including universal search, creating and sharing clips from a public room, and enabling replays. The Clips feature may be something that is a bit controversial if they are taken out of context. It lets Clubhouse users grab a 30-second clip from any room and then share to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, iMessage, or WhatsApp. While it may be used to promote Clubs as it originally is meant to, some may also use this to either spread information or target the speakers or club since it can be easily taken out of context. So Clubhouse is testing it out in beta to a small group of creators first.  » Read More

By Donald Gilpin The clash between Princeton University and local community members over the University’s application for a zoning variance on Prospect Avenue continued at last week’s virtual meeting of the Princeton Planning Board (PPB), with dozens of speakers voicing their ideas, opposition, and proposals for compromise. After four hours of discussion, the PPB announced that the discussion would continue at its October 21 meeting, which could possibly culminate in deliberations and a final vote by PPB members. The September 23 meeting, carried over from July 8, was the third long PPB session concerning Princeton University’s proposal to demolish three Queen Anne Victorian houses on the north side of Prospect and move the former Court Clubhouse building at 91 Prospect Avenue from across the street into their place in order to provide space to construct the entrance to its planned 660,000-square-foot Environmental Studies and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (ES+SEAS) complex. Several different speakers proposed compromises that involved adapting and expanding the former Court Clubhouse without moving it, but the University continued to emphasize the necessity of following its original plans for moving the 91 Prospect building across the street in order to construct a gateway Theorist Pavilion for…

Recently, amidst a new data breach, the sensitive information of almost 3.8 billion users of Facebook and Clubhouse apps has been exposed reportedly for $1,00,000. It has been analyzed that not only the users of these apps are vulnerable, but also the ones who are not even using the apps. A few days back, Clubhouse asked its users to share the contact lists with the application. So, the possibility is that those people can also become the victim of data breaches. According to CyberNews reports, The hacker first posted on Sept. 4. They advertised a merged database of users from Clubhouse and Facebook. It includes names, Facebook profile links, and Clubhouse ranks, as well as phone numbers. It has also been reported that the hacker has complied with all the information of Facebook users and then leaked it on the Clubhouse server. Image Source: Kimkomando The clubhouse was launched last year in March and was an exclusive, invite-only app. Though it became available for everyone this July. Data breaching and getting access to information is always good news for the attacker and the hacker.  » Read More

Dozens of Clubhouse creators had been anticipating their first sponsorship meeting for months. As the inaugural class of Clubhouse’s “Creator First” program, they were supposed to receive Clubhouse’s help landing sponsorships and turning their shows into a “profitable creative endeavor.” The creators wrote down lists of brands they wanted to speak with and prepared one-sheets pitching their live audio shows. But when the time came, it turned out they weren’t getting one-on-one meetings with the brands; instead, they would be pitching their shows to a public room on Clubhouse, alongside dozens of other creators, where anyone on the app could join. “It was a real big joke,” says Cyndi Pham, a creator from the program and a media consultant herself. “I feel like was something they did to save face because they couldn’t get any sponsors to show up.” The creators each had two minutes or so to pitch their programs to the sponsors in the crowd. “Dozens of agencies and brands attended,” according to a Clubhouse spokesperson. But technical difficulties tripped up multiple creators,  » Read More
