“Do you have an invitation?” It will surely have happened to you too to read this question on social networks and no, it does not refer to a dinner or to a social event (sigh), but to Clubhouse! What is it about?
Born from an idea of Paul Davison and Rohan Seth last April, Clubhouse seems to be the revolutionary way to have conversations via a social network, as well as what seems to be considered by all the app of the moment! Unlike the social networks we are used to, Clubhouse does not give priority to images and the exploitation of them, does not give way to create amateur videos and not even the possibility of creating challenges with group dances, Clubhouse is made to talk, discuss the most various topics and, finally, return to express their own opinions without fear of judgment.
From cinema to fashion, from sport to food, from current affairs to politics, on Clubhouse you can discuss any topic but how does it work? Available for now, but still for a while we are sure, only for IOS users, Clubhouse is an app organized in rooms each dedicated to a different theme (you can ideally also organize a room to discuss with your friends the last watched series. ), in which users exchange voice messages. Once the room is closed and the conversation is then finished, the vocals are not recorded but disappear, guaranteeing respect for users’ privacy.
Confidentiality is a great point in favor of Clubhouse, in fact users cannot register freely but can only access it through an invitation received from another user already registered. At the time of registration, users will then be able to access a varied number of conversations or start their own with friends on the platform or, why not, with complete strangers with whom they share interests. Inside each room, in fact, there is an admin, just like in the whatsapp groups, who starts the conversation and acts as a moderator, inviting users and giving or taking them away. In addition to the administrator, in each room there are the speakers who are all those authorized to speak and the listeners who participate in silence until they ask to speak.
Clubhouse, yes we are all scared after seeing The Social Dilemma, it does not access the subscriber’s voice if its setting is muted, and as we anticipated before the application will permanently delete all messages once the room is closed . What made thousands of Clubhouse users fall in love, in addition of course to the fact that it gives the opportunity to speak freely about the most diverse topics, is that many celebrities have started to be part of it, giving us mere mortals the opportunity to converse, who knows. , with Virgil Abloh of fashion and trends, with Elon Musk of technology and sustainability, with Jared Leto of cinema and music, and many many others.
