Clubhouse

Slack threads, Scheduled Zoom calls, and endless email chains do not capture the unpredictable thrill or joy of having physical conversations. With COVID-19 evolving the way we work and socialize, the free-flowing, ad-hoc communication with friends and open office conversations are often missing. Clubhouse, a new type of networking app has recreated the spontaneity of conversations online. The app uses an audio-based social network where people can spontaneously jump into voice chat rooms and talk about stuff together. Clubhouse is “24/7 virtual panel” where you can jump in and even participate in the live audio rooms of friends, teammates, industry professionals and even celebrities like Kevin Hart, Oprah and Drake. Over $100 million raised Founded last year by Paul Davison, who previously founded offline people-meeting location app Highlight, Clubhouse has grown from having just 1,500 users in May 2020 to over two million active users. Last weekend, the buzzy live-voice chat announced a new funding round led by venture firm Andreessen Horowitz. According to Axios, the Series B round was about $100 million. The app which was valued at about $100 million last May after it raised $12 million is now worth $1 billion in valuation according to The Information. Absolute exclusivity…for now The…

One of the nice things about hosting an entirely virtual conference is that organizers have more flexibility when it comes to panels and keynotes. Some breaking news here or there, and NamesCon Organizers can quickly put together a discussion panel without much maneuvering of the agenda. This morning, Andrew Rosener reported that he acquired RL.org for $13,000 from Aishwin Vikhona. Ordinarily, this relatively small deal wouldn’t really register much on people’s radar (it doesn’t even rank in the top 30 .org sales in the last year, according to NameBio). The sale was notable because of the venue for the acquisition – Clubhouse: Just bought https://t.co/ACLD38UiKk on #Clubhouse @joinClubhouse for $13,000 in what I believe is likely the first and certainly the highest domain name transaction to happen on the platform to date! Congrats on a good deal @aishwin! #History #domainnames — Andrew Rosener (@andrewrosener) January 22, 2021 I am not very familiar with Clubhouse, only hearing about it in the context of a DNW article about .Club domain names getting registered because of the growing popularity of the Clubhouse app social media platform. I just received an email from NamesCon organizers who announced that there will be a NamesCon Online…

Rodin Eckenroth/WireImage Published on: Jan 22, 2021, 8:45 AM Coi Leray was unfairly thrown into the middle of the ongoing beef between her father Benzino and Royce Da 5’9 earlier this month when the Detroit rapper advised his enemy to be a better dad to his daughter. Now, it seems Leray has some words for her father in regards to the whole situation. On Friday (January 22), the New Jersey native unleashed a new single titled “No More Parties” where the rapper-singer gets introspective and hopes to step away from the things in her life that aren’t benefitting her. Unfortunately for Benzino, it seems like he’s a part of that. “I’m too busy getting this money counting cheddar/My daddy let me down, but I promise you I won’t let up/I wanna say fuck that man, but that shit won’t make me better,” Leray says 29 seconds into the track. She continued her disdain on the hook singing, “Fuck everybody, I can’t trust nobody/I ain’t even really tryna party, don’t invite me to no party.” Leray’s lines come as a bit of a surprise since there hasn’t been any news of her being on bad terms with Benzino. For the most part,…

ZEXPRWIRE, Despite all the rave talk among techies, their new favorite app is an invite-only social network (so far) to chat with each other. The Clubhouse app is an invitation-only social media app where people chat about topics from serious topics like music, social justice, artificial intelligence to fun trivial competitions. Auto Agencies| Jan 22, 2021 10:03 AM IST Los Angeles, CA, January 22,  ZEXPRWIRE, Despite all the rave talk among techies, their new favorite app is an invite-only social network (so far) to chat with each other. The Clubhouse app is an invitation-only social media app where people chat about topics from serious topics like music, social justice, artificial intelligence to fun trivial competitions. Clubhouse works by allowing people to join pop-up audio chat rooms that disappear when they end. Once in the rooms, users are divided into levels determined by the moderators. Users can join any chat room to see who is speaking or listening, go to their profile page, and follow each other. Clubhouse app is one of the best audio chat app in the apple store, which allows users to join group chats spontaneously. However, this may be different, since you do not need to have a…

Over the past few months, the debate about colorism in the music industry again reached a fever pitch thanks in part to breakout rapper Mulatto, her objectionable moniker, and some unfavorable interpretations of her defense for it on chat app Clubhouse. However, she’s not the only one to be criticized, as DaniLeigh‘s song “Yellow Bone” has shifted the spotlight — and fans’ disapproval — in her direction. After posting a video previewing the new song, the Miami singer deleted it when fans pointed out its questionable connotations. https://twitter.com/Mocha___Hontas/status/1352332328253665283?s=20 DaniLeigh, who recently made headlines when she confirmed her relationship to North Carolina rapper DaBaby, posted the video on the popular TikTok precursor Triller, mugging for the camera in her Marilyn Monroe-inspired makeup look. However, when she shared the video to her Instagram, fans were quick to point out the song’s messaging might be disagreeable due to the history of colorism in the United States. Despite DaniLeigh, who is of Dominican descent, trying to defend the song, the criticisms continued until she ultimately deleted it. Unfortunately for her, It had already been reposted, along with her response in the comments, by other accounts, preserving it for continued censure. “Why can’t I make…
