Twitter’s Spaces, a competitor to the once very exclusive Clubhouse has really taken off worldwide. The platform is very popular as a way of having conversations with a wide audience (depending on your following) about a range of topics. Zimbabweans have jumped on the Twitter Spaces with notable figures like Hopewell Chin’ono regularly hosting conversations. However, there has been one question that many have asked about Twitter Spaces and that is how much data it uses. I scoured the interwebs looking for an answer to this but haven’t had much luck. So I decided to test it out using My Data Manager, an app that measures the data used by other applications on a device, and luckily the BBC was hosting a Twitter Space about the COVID vaccine situation in Africa so I hopped on for 30 mins. I was pretty surprised at the usage number that the app put up. For the half an hour I was in the space, Twitter consumed 33.8MB. Now,  » Read More

Thiago Prudêncio, SOPA Images, LightRocket, Getty Images A new social-media app for mobile phones called Clubhouse is gaining steam in some nonprofit quarters. The app isn’t text based like Twitter or Facebook. Instead, Clubhouse users speak to each other on their phones in groups. Nonprofit leaders are using it to amplify their missions and expand their networks. Rahsaan Harris became CEO of the Citizens Committee for New York City last March just as the pandemic was shutting down the city — and every nonprofit leader in the country had to start communicating with staff, donors, and grantees using online tools like Zoom and Slack. Harris first used Clubhouse last fall when the Citizens Committee was just starting to do podcasts. He wanted to learn the ins and outs of the medium from experienced podcasters.“I ended up in a room of creatives,” Harris says. “They were giving tips on how to do a podcast with blow-by-blow details regarding how to market and create a compelling podcast that’s meaningful. I learned so much from the folks that were across the country all in this one conversation.”Since then,  » Read More

Four English golf courses look set to have hundreds of homes built on their land. Widnes Golf Club hopes to convert its 18-hole golf course into a nine-hole facility with a new clubhouse and greenkeeping facilities, with the other nine holes turned into more than 230 homes. A similar proposal was rejected earlier this year by its council, after the club said it needed to sell the nine holes to Anwyl Homes in order to secure its future, as declining membership had left it with financial issues. Planning officers rejected the scheme as they said it would leave Widnes in the ‘highly unusual’ situation of no longer having an 18-hole course. A new planning application, however, sees a reduction in the proposed number of homes from 249 to 233, additional green space, more trees planted and enhancements to the redeveloped golf course, plus Widnes Golf Club has said it will invest in the nearby 18-hole Blundells Hill Golf Club in Rainhill in order to make improvements. The combined membership would have the potential to play at both courses and developers said the plans would ensure the future of both locations.  » Read More

For its first few years, Teleparty seemed doomed to be a niche product. The browser extension, which lets multiple people sync up their Netflix accounts so they can watch the same thing at the same time, was a hit among couples in long-distance relationships. Otherwise, few people had even heard of it. And then, in March 2020, the app suddenly found itself with a planet's worth of potential users. Lockdowns weren't so great for movie theaters or the economy as a whole. But for Teleparty, they were "a huge accelerant," Chief Executive Shaurya Jain said. "We definitely grew a lot." And they weren't alone. Call it remote entertainment, a counterpart to the more-familiar remote work. At the end of a long day of video calls and Slack messages, workers unable or unwilling to meet up at the bar can mouse over to another tab for some virtual socialisation on apps such as Discord and Clubhouse. Think of it as Zoom: After Hours. The pandemic gave this burgeoning phenomenon a boost,  » Read More
