Clubhouse

A 27-year-old office worker, surnamed Park, had decided 2020 was going to be a time for focusing on herself as the coronavirus gripped the country.“I made peace with the fact that my life would be on hold for a while,” said the Seoul resident, who wished not to be identified by her full name to protect her privacy.But that was before she knew the pandemic would last well through the year and beyond, with no clear end in sight. “This pandemic is just unrelenting,” she said. Now she found herself reconsidering her extended break from dating.In a time of social distancing, Park is not the only one who is opting to stay solo. Nearly 80 percent of singles aged between 25 and 49 stopped looking for romance since February last year, according to a May survey by the Korea Development Institute’s School of Public Policy and Management. About a third of them cited the coronavirus as the prime reason.The pandemic has raised the stakes for falling in love.  » Read More

A spokesperson for the company also said that a majority of people who received notices about the new privacy policy have accepted the terms of service.

Image Credits: Echelon (stock image) Peloton wasn’t the only at-home workout giant exposing private account data. Rival exercise giant Echelon also had a leaky API that let virtually anyone access riders’ account information. Fitness technology company Echelon, like Peloton, offers a range of workout hardware — bikes, rowers, and a treadmill — as a cheaper alternative for members to exercise at home. Its app also lets members join virtual classes without the need for workout equipment. But Jan Masters, a security researcher at Pen Test Partners, found that Echelon’s API allowed him to access the account data — including name, city, age, sex, phone number, weight, birthday, and workout statistics and history — of any other member in a live or pre-recorded class. The API also disclosed some information about members’ workout equipment, such as its serial number. Masters, if you recall, found a similar bug with Peloton’s API, which let him make unauthenticated requests and pull private user account data directly from Peloton’s servers without the server ever checking to make sure he (or anyone else) was allowed to request it.  » Read More

When Twitter launched Spaces, its live audio feature, Reesha Howard couldn’t wait to start broadcasting. She already had a YouTube channel, so she was used to sharing her personality online, but Spaces offered up a new way to flex her voice. She DM’d the rapper Soulja Boy; did he want to do an interview in her Space? Shockingly, he said yes. Then she hosted a game show for The Game. She spoke to Charlese Antoinette, the costume designer for Judas and the Black Messiah, just days before Antoinette won an Oscar. “I consider myself to be the official queen of Twitter Spaces,” says Howard. Not bad for someone who had only 87 Twitter followers a few months ago. Now, thanks to her listeners, she has about 4,000.Decades ago, if you heard someone’s voice live on the internet, it often meant an online radio broadcast. Then podcasting came on the scene, and everyone with a mic and a laptop could upload their conversations to the web. Now the rise of live audio apps,  » Read More

Social Media Expert & Founder of Snack Toronto.  Getty One major thing that happened as a result of the pandemic was that many brands dramatically increased their spending on social media ads. This, paired with a captive audience of users who were forced to stay home all day with nothing but the internet to keep them occupied, allowed new social media networks to successfully break into the mainstream for the first time in over a decade, the last one being Instagram in 2010.  Last year, TikTok caught a massive break and filled in a gap created by uncertainty and fear about the future. It was easy to zone out on TikTok for a few hours or spend time learning a new dance or trend. We also saw the launch of the invitation-only platform Clubhouse. By keeping it exclusive, this audio-based platform generated huge buzz and now has more than 10 million weekly active users.  » Read More

International Mission Board, along with an out-of-town developer, is planning a 263-unit apartment complex on land it owns across Hamilton Street from its headquarters at 3806 Monument Ave. The pair of five-story buildings would fill a surface parking lot at 3700 Monument Ave. and replace an existing three-story office building at 1301A N. Hamilton St. Both properties have been under IMB ownership for decades. The three-story office building on Hamilton was built in the early 1980s. IMB is working with Silver Hills Development,  » Read More

White nationalist Nicholas Fuentes and anti-Muslim zealot Laura Loomer made very brief appearances on new app Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer (Photo illustration by Salon/Getty Images) Select members of the far right, including white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes and anti-Muslim activist Laura Loomer, have been kicked off Clubhouse, a new conversation application that has gained popularity during the coronavirus pandemic, where users can engage with each other in real time about a myriad of topics in different virtual "rooms."  On Saturday, Loomer signed up for the platform and quickly joined a room entitled: "App Store Hate Speech Double Standard: Parler vs. Clubhouse," moderated by right-wing communications flack Kris Ruby. That particular room quickly descended into chaos, with Loomer going on an anti-Muslim tirade, which apparently violates the platform's policies. "As a Jewish woman, who was physically ejected from a moving Uber by a radical Muslim driver, on Rosh Hashanah, I value my safety, I'm pro-life, and you know I don't think I should have to be roadkill because Uber doesn't do background checks on their drivers," the onetime Florida congressional candidate said.   » Read More

2021 is the year of audio. Group chat apps have generated buzz around the world, led by the hype surrounding Clubhouse. Tech giants as well as startups quickly churned out similar instant conversation products to gain a slice of the pie. Facebook said it would soon launch a clone, while Twitter is already testing a similar feature. In China, where Clubhouse is now blocked, a number of homegrown counterparts have emerged. Among them, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is developing a similar product. The fad of Clubhouse may have passed, but audio is here to stay. It is a format that feels more authentic and less invasive. Direct conversations give users more space to build relationships, while privacy is ensured during the exchanges. However, it is never easy to find a tipping point within a market. While it is true that the tech giants have sufficient resources to get ahead in the race, smaller startups have their advantages too. They are more focused, more adaptive when tapping into a market. Sango is one app that is setting a high bar.  » Read More

Abuja, Nigeria (CNN)Nollywood actress and filmmaker Genevieve Nnaji is among the cast of an audio adaptation of Broadway musical 'FELA!' premiering on the Clubhouse app this weekend. The production highlights the struggles of Nigerian music star and Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti who was an outspoken critic of Nigeria's military regimes and was frequently arrested for his troubles.'Fela Ten-Twenty' director and producer, Funa Maduka, told CNN that while the audio adaptation is a nod to the original Broadway musical, 'Ten Twenty' represents the date of the shooting of protesters by security forces at the Lekki Toll Gate in October 2020, in the wake of the nationwide #ENDSars anti-police brutality protests. She added that the adaptation on Clubhouse will frame "the #EndSars movement in the context of Fela Kuti's legacy.""Fela's music... demanded global engagement with African political thought. In the aftermath of the October 2020 #EndSars protests ... his message still achingly resounds. This production is a love letter to those fighting for a better Nigeria," said Maduka.  » Read More
