Clubhouse

Boating is a hobby steeped in history and tradition — and so is the industry and those that support it. With worldwide connectivity, electric boats, and other technological changes dragging the sector out of old habits, Orca aims to replace the outdated interfaces by which people navigate with a hardware-software combo as slick as any other modern consumer tech. If you’re a boater, and I know at least some of you are, you’re probably familiar with two different ways of chart-plotting, or tracking your location and route: the one attached to your boat and the one in your pocket. The one on your boat is clunky and old-fashioned, like the GPS interface on a years-old budget sedan. The one in your pocket is better and faster — but the phone isn’t exactly seaworthy and the app drains your battery with a quickness. Orca is a Norwegian startup from veterans of the boating and chart-plotters that leapfrogs existing products with a built-from-scratch modern interface. “The industry hasn’t changed in the last 20 years — you have three players who own 80 percent of the business,” said co-founder and CEO Jorge Sevillano.  » Read More

In what seems like a mere matter of days, the elusive Clubhouse app has penetrated the social media landscape.What is Clubhouse?Clubhouse has quickly become the trendiest social media app. Invite-only, it is based around audio-chat and has been described as “part talkback radio, part conference call, part Houseparty”. It rocketed to fame partially because of the big names associated with it.Vera Rabkina, Head of Product, AppFollow: “Clubhouse has discovered a new niche in what seemed to be a saturated social media market. By monitoring trends in user ratings and conducting a semantic analysis of the reviews, we can get a clearer understanding of the role Elon Musk played in this process, identify some drivers of Clubhouse’s viral growth, and gauge user reactions.Can Elon Musk Take Credit for the App’s Success?It is often claimed that Clubhouse largely owes its success to Elon Musk, who wrote about it on Twitter on several occasions and even conducted a live interview session with Robinhood’s СЕО Vladimir Tenev on 31 January.  » Read More

Slack took the workplace communications landscape by storm after it launched its integration-friendly, GIF-tastic chat platform in 2013. Within the space of a decade it entered into the pantheon of Big Tech: First with massive growth and usage, then a series of giant VC rounds and valuations, spawning controversial competition from incumbents, followed by a public listing and ultimately a $27.7 billion acquisition by Salesforce. Now that the cycle is complete, the decks are clear for a Slack disruptor! Today, a new app quietly launched out of stealth called Quill, available by way of apps for the web, MacOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. Like Slack, Quill is a messaging app for co-workers to update each other on what they are doing, have conversations about projects and more. It is (also like Slack) priced as a freemium service, with a $15 per user, per month tier giving users more message history and storage. An enterprise tier is also on the cards. Unlike Slack — the implication seems to be — the difference is that Quill is about delivering messaging in a nondistracting way that doesn’t take up too much of your time, your concentration and your energy. Quill bills itself…

On Clubhouse, users can gather in audio-only virtual rooms, where they will often discuss topics about emerging tech, socialize over pop culture or listen to speakers like Elon Musk.Thus far, the app has only been available to iPhone users who receive an invite to the app. Despite the Apple exclusivity, the app has reached more than 10 million weekly active users, Clubhouse Co-founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth announced on Sunday on the app. That's up from 2 million weekly active users on Jan. 24.The company's development of an Android app…

Doctors are using the Clubhouse app to encourage people to take the COVID-19 vaccine. But numerous doctors told Insider they were harassed and bullied after discussing the vaccine. Black doctors in particular have faced substantial pushback, adding to the biases they already face. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories. In the midst of a turbulent COVID-19 vaccine rollout in the United States, the internet has seen a flurry of misinformation about the shots.Now, doctors and healthcare professionals are speaking out publicly about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. One platform they've zeroed in on is Clubhouse, the invite-only voice-app that has attracted prominent users like Kevin Hart, Oprah Winfrey, and Tiffany Haddish.The app allows people to create rooms around specific topics where anyone can join as an audience member. If someone wants to be a part of the conversation, they can virtually raise their hand and be added as a speaker.But this format, coupled with a dearth of moderation, has opened the door for harassment against Black doctors who are fighting a battle against vaccine distrust, particularly in the Black community, according to five healthcare professionals who spoke with Insider. When doctors have spoken out about the vaccine and…

Two breaches of the audio-based social media app reinforce privacy, security concerns. At nearly a year old, the invitation-only, audio-based social-media platform ClubHouse is grappling with security issues on multiple fronts, but the consensus among researchers is coming into focus: Assume your ClubHouse conversations are being recorded. The company confirmed to Bloomberg that over the weekend a user was able to breach “multiple” ClubHouse room audio feeds and stream them on a third-party website. A company spokeswoman told Bloomberg the user has been banned and that “safeguards” have been put in place. Another user, located in mainland China, meanwhile wrote code that allows anyone to listen in on ClubHouse conversations without the required invitation code, and posted it on GitHub, Silicon Angle reported. That, along with other malicious code designed to breach Clubhouse, have been blocked, according to the outlet. Clubhouse’s Agora Platform The heart of Clubhouse’s security woes is its backend “real-time voice and video engagement platform” provided by Shanghai-based startup Agora. Clubhouse web traffic is directed to Agora’s server in China, including personal metadata, without encryption, according to the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), which was the first to raise the alarm about ClubHouse’s privacy and security protections on…

Jaime Smith is media manager at Edge. Remember the Houseparty app? A video-centric social networking platform that invited groups to chat in private or ‘open’ rooms via desktop and mobile, Houseparty was big for a hot minute during the pandemic. But its popularity was rather short-lived. Why? Could it be our growing impatience with visual social video, our increasingly short attention span, or simply the effort it requires to make ourselves ‘camera ready’ just to communicate with our mates?   Enter audio. The medium that gives people the option to tune in or tune out, to multi-task or focus, to be active or passive.    While Australia has experienced slower adoption of audio formats such as podcasts compared to other markets like the US and UK, it is still growing in popularity – and the pandemic has been a major catalyst for growth, with people having more time up their sleeves and demanding frequent content to keep them entertained. The rise of audio has created invaluable opportunities for marketers and brands to engage with consumers for longer periods of time through topical, relevant and entertaining content. We’ve seen brands like Sephora collaborate with the Girl Boss Radio Network to create its own podcast called #LipStories and Vodafone create their own podcast 'Speechmark' all about all things technology.     So what do you get when you combine ‘open’ rooms and drop-ins with the convenience of audio? ‘Clubhouse’. The…

Back in January, Musk sent out a tweet urging his followers to use the encrypted messaging app Signal, which ended up prompting an army of inattentive retail investors to pile into a completely unrelated non-profit company baring the same name. Now it appears that Musk has done it again: after posting numerous tweets about using the Clubhouse app, shares of an unrelated company, named Clubhouse Media Group Inc, were sent soaring by a whooping 1,200%. Clubhouse Media, which was previously called Tongji Healthcare Group Inc, trades under the symbol CMGR, and describes itself as a “marketing and media firm targeting social media influencers.” The company shares the name of the conversation app Clubhouse, which is supported by Andreessen Horowitz, a venture-capital firm that is not publicly traded. Musk has flocked to Twitter on numerous occasions to relay to his followers that he has been using the Clubhouse app to communicate. In fact, Musk is so fond of the app, that he has even invited Vladimir Putin to join him in a conversation, to which the Russian president even seemed receptive to. However, it appears that Musk’s numerous tweets about the Clubhouse app sent shares of unrelated Clubhouse Media surging, ballooning its market…
