Clubhouse has officially exited its beta stage! Just a year after launching on iOS, and later on Android systems, the audio-streaming app has officially exited its beta phase which means its invite-only system is out of the window. Things to love about Clubhouse: ✅ Wonderful people ✅ Fascinating conversations ✅ Backchannel ❌ > ✅ Easy to join After 16 never-boring months of building, we’re thrilled to share that Clubhouse is now out of beta, open to everyone, and ready to begin the next chapter! pic.twitter.com/vC1g2KfhyQ — Clubhouse (@Clubhouse) July 21, 2021 According to Complex, in an announcement on July 20, the Clubhouse team announced what the platform’s next chapter will look like for users. “The invite system has been an important part of our early history,” wrote founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth in an official blog post. “By adding people in waves […] we’ve been able to grow Clubhouse in a measured way, and (mostly 😬) keep things from breaking as we’ve scaled. But we’ve...
Earlier this year, Spotify announced plans to host live audio conversations on its digital platform. Well that day is finally here, so say hello to the Spotify Greenroom app. After acquiring Black-led app Betty Labs — also the creators of sports-focused audio app Locker Room — Spotify shared its grand plan that included creating the “future formats of audio.” Today, the streaming giant is marking its official move into the digital audio future by introducing what could become a Clubhouse rival. According to TechCrunch, the Spotify Greenroom app itself is based on Locker Room’s existing code, so current users of the latter platform will soon see their app update to reflect the newly-rebranded and redesigned Greenroom experience. Current Spotify users can join the new app using their existing login in order to be onboarded onto the audio platform. For the time being, Spotify tells TechCrunch that the new app is a part of its plan to “leverage Spotify’s personalization technology to...
Twitter is continuing to prove it’s the king of all social media with this latest Silicon Valley rumor. The so-called “bird app” is rumored to be in talks with the up-and-coming audio app, Clubhouse, for acquisition. If the acquisition is successful, the deal will be worth $4 billion. Bloomberg News was the first to report on the rumored acquisition, and sources close to the situation confirmed the initial talks to TechCrunch. However, other sources suggest that there might be a bigger play at stake for Clubhouse. You see, a few days ago, Clubhouse announced that they were seeking a new round of funding at a valuation of $4 billion. There’s a good chance that these latest Silicon Valley rumors surrounding Twitter’s alleged acquisition of the app are merely the San Francisco-based company’s way of tantalizing additional investors. And this theory is bolstered by TechCrunch’s report that Twitter “folded” in the initial acquisition conversations. Then there’s the issue of Twitter...
A native of Palo Alto, CA, James Andrews has been passionate about culture, marketing, and advertising for a long time. He became a record executive in his twenties and over the past couple of decades has built and sold two companies. His newsletter, SoulPurpose, was featured in the Wall Street Journal in 2000 . In 2017, he founded Authenticated Ventures, an agency of “seasoned leaders who understand the power of storytelling and ideas combined with sound business strategy.” From Authenticated Ventures, he launched The Authenticated, “a marketplace community of companies, ideas and hustlers.” Then, in 2020, he took The Authenticated to Clubhouse. As one of Clubhouse’s most-followed personalities with a following of 1.7 million, it’s not hard to see that James has cracked the code to the Clubhouse attention market. He hosts multiple events per week and rooms are often packed with hundreds to thousands of listeners. Now, he’s joining forces with other Clubhouse power-creators to help...

“We are all connected in the great circle of life.” This quote from Disney’s “The Lion King” is true for the masterminds behind the musical event that took place on Clubhouse this past December. After stumbling across one another in various Clubhouse rooms like Bomani X’s “Cotton Club,” it was social networking fate that placed Noelle Chesnut Whitmore (Director/Executive Producer), Bomani X (Musical Director), Kam DeLa (Musical Director), Mir Harris (Nala), Chris Glover (Mufasa), and Myles Grier (Simba) in the presence of one another. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ??Clutch Boogie (B.Clutch) ??? (@_comethruclutch) AfroTech was able to sit down with the creatives responsible for “The Lion King” musical on Clubhouse — a live rendition of the cult classic which included a 40-member cast, choir, live instrumentation, and to top it all off, a seamlessly orchestrated PTR (pull to refresh) imagery that matched up with every scene in the show — to life. This interview has...

The next hottest voice chat app out of Silicon Valley just might be a new breeding ground for controversy and contempt for its users. If you’ve been following along online for the past few days, you’ll know that Clubhouse — a live audio platform still in its private Beta stage — has the potential to lead the pack for new buzzy social media apps this year. Screenshots from Clubhouse/ Credit: Business Insider; Sriram Krishnan, Ben Parr What is Clubhouse exactly? Currently, it’s an invite-only, group voice-chat social network that allows users to speak to each other in real time. The only way to gain access to the app is to reportedly be invited by an already established member on the platform. From there, users can start their own dedicated groups or casual chat groups to speak with followers and other fellow users on any and all topics. In the wake of coronavirus lockdowns, the app’s spontaneous means of communication caught the eye of hundreds of users and quickly became a breakout...
