In part thanks to a form of unconventional audio communication only, the clubhouse quickly becomes one of the hottest names of social media since last year. Given its popularity, it could surprise some to discover that the social network is always an exclusive club that forces the other members to invite you first to enter. It was ironically slow to grow, even outside iOS. The opening of its doors to Android users also seemed open floodgates and clubhouse will no longer be an exclusive club from this summer.
Clubhouse recently explained that its slow expansion was intentional, even facing new rivals in this only audio social network. He first wanted to focus on more important aspects of community growth and stabilization of characteristics rather than getting into place with server maintenance or precipitated bug fixing from dozens of reports. It seems, however, that it has reached a point where it is ready to open the doors to everyone.
In one of his tweets highlighting his recent town hall, the clubhouse revealed that he already had more than 2 million Android users. It is rather impressive considering that the Android app has not gone to live earlier in May and it is not even in the parity of characteristics compared to iOS. It proves that many people are waiting for the clubhouse to arrive on their favorite mobile platform before jumping.
More importantly, he has also revealed his plans to make the network available to the general public this summer, presuming everything is fine. Until then, it will focus on the tasks that will make the network more complete to prepare the clubhouse for a sudden flood of new users without invitations.
Of course, Clubhouse’s public openness comes to a time when Twitter and Facebook, among others, already intensify their game in the same space. Twitter Even starts testing its ticketing spaces as a monetization system for creators and Twitter itself, something clubhouse has also launched recently in a very minimal way.
