The Twitter Spaces clone of Clubhouse was recently launched by the company. Clearly trying to take advantage of Clubhouse's early success, Facebook, Instagram (which they own), LinkedIn, and Spotify are actively developing audio-based social networks.
LinkedIn confirmed it is testing an audio experience connected with your profile. Live audio is just as it sounds - live. There is something alluring about the platform's chance and conversational nature, but it is also something that gives others pause. As a result, Clubhouse's success and that of its emerging rivals differs from other popular audio channel currently available such as podcasts or traditional radio.
Members inside Clubhouse create rooms and clubs, generally around certain topics of interest. People can come and go as they please. After dropping into a room, they can hit a button to leave quietly.
