What Is Clubhouse And Why Is Everyone Hyped About It?

In the past few days, everyone and their hamsters have been actively discussing this strange app called the Clubhouse. This service is a new social network, but you can’t just waltz in there like it’s some godforsaken Facebook or TikTok. You’ll need to have someone on the inside to get an invitation. But to explain why you need this app and why it is experiencing a real surge in popularity, let’s start from the beginning.

What is Clubhouse?

The Clubhouse is all about voice chats, or as the app calls them, “rooms.” Here, participants can talk with each other on specific topics using only audio messages. This means no memes, no funny videos, and no texting. The format is somewhat reminiscent of podcasts or online conferences. The Clubhouse app opened its virtual doors in February 2020, but it remained largely under the radar for an entire year.
