Straight from Silicon Valley, the new Clubhouse app is causing a lot of buzz. But what are the reasons for such enthusiasm? Let's decipher together this new platform that works completely differently from the other social networks that we usually use on a daily basis.

the access door
If you were planning to download this new application and register in one click, you're out of luck! Indeed, first of all, you need to have access to the App Store because this application is not yet available on Google Play. Then, it is important to know that this social network is based on exclusivity . Indeed, in order to access it, you must be invited . Only the sponsorship of an already registered user (who can only invite two people) will allow you to reach the holy grail.
the clubhouse principle
Clubhouse is based on a principle of virtual chat rooms . There are no "posts" or even messages, photos or videos. No written communication is possible , everything is done by voice. As a user, you can therefore brazil phone number list and can accommodate up to 5000 people simultaneously .
You can imagine that some operating rules have been established, because allowing 5000 people to speak at the same time would be too complicated. The principle is therefore simple, in each chat room administrators are appointed. If you want to speak, you will only have to “raise your hand” and the admins will then make you “go on stage” .

clubhouse success
Why so much excitement around this innovative concept? It's simple, with the Covid-19 pandemic, many people have felt a significant lack of social connection , especially following the lockdown. Thanks to Clubhouse, exchanges through discussions are possible again. The application allows you to meet new people and exchange on various subjects. Debate (in a cordial manner), talk about things that fascinate you, ask questions, joke... Everything revolves around the notion of sharing , like in real life.
The notion of exclusivity has also helped a lot in the development of this application, users have the feeling of being privileged and belonging to a restricted group. This therefore creates a strong desire to be part of the “elite” of Clubhouse members .
