Clubhouse

On Friday we announced that JXN signed to City Pop records and released his new single. What we didn’t mention was that this release happened a week before it should have.All the plans and set up for the release were set for the song to come out a week later, but in the early hours of morning, the label and artist discovered their record had been released on streaming services seven days before it should have.Drama.It was this stress which inspired me to get City Pop’s Andrew Stone on the phone to share what he was going through on such a dramatic, unexpected release week. It became the first episode for our new podcast ‘How the music business works’.In this debut episode titled ‘Release Week!’, Andrew Stone takes us through how he responded to the surprise release, how the fuck up happened and why, despite the error, the release was a day one success. JXN still received editorial in media and playlist covers on streaming services right out of the gate.  » Read More

Megha Suresh, a person who regularly uses the app stated “ I'm from Kerala, India. Malayali people usually have the tradition of creating a good discussion over a cup of chai tea or a hot dosa, a custom Indian food. This practice existed long before the pandemic struck and altered the world. However, Clubhouse is now a ‘chayakada’ for people to discuss ideas, share stories, and even host karaoke nights”. Suresh also added that, “there are no limitations on what to talk about within the platform, which I feel is a bad thing, last day I was on, I saw a group of people rating and roasting others based on their profile photos. That is not the only thing… there are rooms that spread hate speech, misinformation, even talk about islamophobia and casteism. I guess the app is far from a good app regarding all this.”  » Read More

By Author: by Shilpa Mariam Anil, Security Television Network Click here for updates on this story     September 5, 2021 (Security Television Network) — Author: by Shilpa Mariam Anil, Security Television Network My Experience On May 30th around 12:30pm I, an Indian woman from Kottayam, Kerala, received an invite from a friend asking to join an audio-only chat room named “Clubhouse”. Being curious as to what this entailed, I clicked on the link and downloaded this new application through the google play store. After a few days of patiently waiting, my account was fully activated. I could not wait to experience the hype that many of my friends were now talking about surrounding this application. Nevertheless, during those few days I conducted some of my own research about the app. Clubhouse is an invite-only social networking application that exists for both iOS and android phone users; both versions of the app were launched in March of 2020. Hitting more than 1 million downloads in India alone and in less than a week,  » Read More

Decoding the growth of social audio platforms like Clubhouse, Greenroom and Spaces, and what we can expect from them. It's time to place your bets. September 05, 2021 / 01:31 PM IST Quality of content and creators will be a determining factor in the success of social audio platforms. As video fatigue set in, audio increasingly has found a sweet spot between video and text. Audio has started to emerge as a medium where people come to take refuge, slow down, connect with other people, and learn a new skill without being overwhelmed by accompanying visuals.Leveraging the emergence of audio, Clubhouse launched its invite-only App in September 2020 to create a new social network based on voice. Clubhouse's initial strategy to gate the app with an invite-only approach has undoubtedly caused a FOMO (fear of missing out) effect, with millions adding themselves to the waitlist. But the number of downloads and general interest seems to be waning in the last few months, from a peak of 9.6 million downloads in February 2021 down to 900K downloads in April 2021.  » Read More

Who is next? Pinterest? 🤔In the meantime, web 3.0 keeps preparing to sneak into our reality. Twitter is already working on integrating crypto donations into its app. At this point, Twitter feels much more progressive even compared to Telegram after they failed to deliver their TON project.And this seems to be just the beginning. I feel that web 3.0 is the best place to put my testing efforts into. If you haven't tried to install a crypto wallet yet and get some tokens on it, that's the time. Think about it as the most important Early Access experience that you can get right now.  » Read More

The last five years have seen the emergence of a slew of social media apps with one thing in common: the focus on India’s non-English-speaking population. The list includes ShareChat (now a unicorn), DailyHunt, Lokal, Roposo, Helo, and numerous others. Many steadily grew their user base, while others silently bit the dust. But Bangalore-based live audio discussion app Leher neither registered massive growth nor did it fall by the wayside. Years later, the social media app has made a mark as a made in India alternative to Clubhouse. “When we launched our app in 2018, the regional language social media apps space was in early stages. We, as an audio platform, were way ahead of the curve,” Vikas Malpani, CEO and Co-founder of Leher, told YourStory. The app was founded under Leher.AI Pvt Ltd by Vikas, a serial entrepreneur and angel investors in Unacademy, among others, and Atul Jaju, a senior engineer at Goldman Sachs. Leher grew its marketing spends to 10 percent from almost nil earlier.  » Read More

One thing that has popularly emerged during the Pandemic is the live audio socializing platforms. It all started with Clubhouse being launched as the first live audio conversation application and now that it has launched on both iOS and Android, it has boasted thousands of active rooms on daily basis. After Clubhouse, Twitter came up with Spaces, Snapchat came with Spotlight and Facebook came up with its own version that greatly increased the competition in the market. However, the lists did not stop there. Spotify came up with Locker room that it launched through Betty Labs whose main topic of conversation was Sports and later it advanced to another platform called Greenroom which mainly focused on music, culture and sports.While all these applications were enough to give an increasing competition in the market, Amazon decided that they needed to be in the game too and as of recent it has been reported by Axios that Amazon is working towards a new live audio feature. The soon to be launch platform by Amazon will not work on an app like the rest of its competitive applications for audio conversation but it would be operable on Amazon's smart speakers and the famous Alexa…
