Emma Fyffe from VENN joined 5 Live to talk about the latest in pop culture and video game news. Clubhouse is a voice chat only app that lets you jump in and out of different conversations happening live. It’s like Zoom meetings without video, or live podcasts where you can participate or just listen in. It’s a great tool for networking and is invite only for now, but using the app can give companies access to personal data stored on kid’s phones or even expose them to abusive or hateful language. If your kid is using Clubhouse, it’s time for a talk about online boundaries and online safety. Get little ones reading early with the amazing new Pokemon Primers, the first series aimed at young trainers who may recognize Pikachu and Squirtle, but haven’t learned the ABC’s. Now you can learn together with your favorite Pokemon! Pikachu Press is releasing an ABC book for young trainers to learn the alphabet, and a 123 book for little readers to learn numbers. Plus, parents and kids can both enjoy the adorable illustrations.  » Read More

Over the past several months, Twitter has been working hard to bring its Clubhouse-like audio chat rooms feature, Spaces, to users on iOS and, as of last month, Android. A logical next place for Spaces to show up would be on the web, and unsurprisingly, Twitter is working on the feature for browsers, the company confirmed to The Verge. We decided to ask Twitter about Spaces on desktop after seeing this tweet from app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, which shows what Spaces preview cards could look like when viewed on the web. And Twitter itself hasn’t been entirely secret about developing the feature, either. A Twitter Spaces developer posted some designs of how a Space’s intro screen might look on the web last Friday. Given that Spaces is only available on mobile right now, bringing it to the web would be a significant expansion. And that broader reach could help Twitter in its race to compete with Clubhouse, which is still only on iOS (though an Android version is on the way).  » Read More

Nandini YadavApr 01, 2021 09:32:16 ISTOne of biggest tech trends of 2021 was the skyrocketing popularity of the audio-only app Clubhouse. From 2,000 downloads in September 2020, the app’s monthly downloads jumped to 2.4 million in January 2021. In February 2021, Clubhouse crossed 10 million downloads globally on the Apple App Store. Unless you took social distancing a little too far and were living in a cave, you would know that Clubhouse is a social platform built around the “drop-in audio chat” model. It features ephemeral real-time voice conversations that any user can listen to and nobody can record. From Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah to Lindsay Lohan, Clubhouse has gathered a legion of high-profile users. What’s so attractive about audio-only conversation? For starters, the pandemic, the quarantine, the one-year of WFH, the hordes of people desperate for social connection, all of that together may have created the ideal conditions for the audio-only model to thrive.

Clubhouse’s list of competitors is growing. LinkedIn has now confirmed it’s also testing a social audio experience in its app which would allow creators on its network to connect with their community. Unlike the Clubhouse rivals being built by Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn believes its audio networking feature will be differentiated because it will be connected with users’ professional identity, not just a social profile. In addition, the company has already built out a platform that serves the creator community, which today has access to tools like Stories, LinkedIn Live video broadcasting, newsletters and more. And just today, LinkedIn formalized some of its efforts in this area with the launch a new “Creator” mode that lets anyone set their profile as one that can be followed for updates, like Stories and LinkedIn Live videos, for example. This focus on creators puts LinkedIn on competitive footing in terms of expanding its own Clubhouse rival, compared with other efforts by Facebook, Twitter, Telegram,  » Read More

LinkedIn is in the early stages of testing audio features similar to the app Clubhouse. It's the latest platform to try audio-only content, following Twitter, Facebook, and Spotify. "We're looking at how we can bring audio to other parts of LinkedIn such as events and groups," a LinkedIn spokesperson said. See more stories on Insider's business page. LinkedIn is testing out new ways to bring audio-only content onto its platform as interest in the medium surges. The Microsoft-owned company is the latest tech platform to dip its toe into audio. Newcomer audio chat-room app Clubhouse has added millions of users in the last year and inspired a slew of copycat products from companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Spotify.One feature LinkedIn appears to be testing is live audio rooms featuring a set of speakers and listeners (similar to Clubhouse), a mock-up of which was first shared on Twitter by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi.  » Read More

Email Spaces received backlash for being a "Clubhouse copy," but it seems to be developing a lot faster than the invite-only app. Audio chat app Clubhouse exploded onto the scene in April 2020, and its popularity caused a domino effect of other social media apps pushing out similar features. Twitter was one of these apps, with its release of Spaces. Spaces Won't Be Mobile-Only for Much Longer Noah Jorgensen, senior software engineer at Twitter, shared screenshots on Friday of what he's currently working on: access to Spaces via a desktop computer. Jorgensen's screenshots show a small pop-up window that appears when you want to join a Space. You'll see a list of people currently in that Space, and a purple button that says Join this space. In the past, reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong has leaked some Twitter features before they've officially rolled out (for example, the addition of Revue's newsletter features and the development of the "undo tweet" button), but this time,  » Read More
