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.
