What is Clubhouse and why it’s the ‘hot’ new social media app

Perhaps you’ve heard of Clubhouse — the one app a lot of people are talking about. So much so that the world’s richest man and Tesla CEO Elon Musk also dropped in to check out the app. Here we tell you what the app is all about.
What is Clubhouse
Clubhouse is a voice-based social media app. Once you’re in the Clubhouse you can drop in and out of different chats depending on your areas of interest. You have the choice to pipe in with your thoughts or simply just listen in to what’ happening around various rooms.
How do you get access to Clubhouse?
Exclusivity is the name of the game for Clubhouse. You need an invite to get in Clubhouse — if you remember even Gmail started off with an invite-only rule. A current Clubhouse user can send you an invite but remember that each user has only two invites.
iPhone users — the app is only for iOS as of now — can download the app and reserve a username and wait to get in. But how long that wait can be? You never know.
What happens inside Clubhouse?
Once you’re inside Clubhouse, you can follow people or clubs or certain topics. There are rooms which you can join and follow people or friends who are speaking in there. The audio chat room has moderators who are the final authority. Users have the option to raise hands when they want to speak but it depends on the moderator to let you have a say or not. It all depends on who you connect with and whom.
