Spontaneous social apps that let users join video, voice, and chat rooms on a whim have become popular under lockdowns, like exclusive voice chat app Clubhouse

Forget the calendar invite.  Just jump into a conversation.  That's the idea powering a fresh batch of social startups poised … Tweets: @taylorlorenz , @bdsams , @ericbahn , @julialipton , @db , @thekenyeung , @garrytan , @thisiskp_ , @sehaj23 , @joshconstine , @austen , @zebulgar , @rrhoover , @martinsfp , @keccers , @toddg777 , and @julianweisser Tweets: Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz : Launching an invite only beta app and inviting only 1 VC to make everyone else on VC twitter lose their fucking mind Brad Sams / @bdsams : VC Twitter = Marketing from people who are invested or want to invest in a company. It means nothing for its actual value, see: Yo Peach Magic Leap etc etc etc https://twitter.com/... Eric / @ericbahn : Quality of discussion on Clubhouse is impressive. How long until it becomes like Chatroulette tho? Julia Lipton / @julialipton : Got on Clubhouse at 6pm. Ate dinner. Took a walk. Brushed my teeth. TOOK A SHOWER. Got ready for bed. Left Clubhouse at 2am. OMG what is happening?!? @db : The one thing that has become apparent is how interesting it is that new limited access sites/apps operate on a back alley password entrance status. If you're not in the know then you won't know for quite some time. So, did you get that Google doc link? 🤨😉 https://twitter.com/... Ken Yeung / @thekenyeung : Oh! @pdavison built Clubhouse...building on the serendipity aspect that he did with Highlight? Wonder what the privacy/security aspect is like. https://techcrunch.com/... Garry Tan / @garrytan : Interesting vibe on this comment thread. Kind of reminds me of what people said about Dropbox before they actually tried it https://twitter.com/... @thisiskp_ : A new wave of social products being born right in front of us. Clubhouse riding the wave 🌊 Love their GTM strategy, simply brillaint. Can't wait to try the app! https://techcrunch.com/... Sehaj Singh / @sehaj23 : Clubhouse has set Twitter on fire. https://twitter.com/... @joshconstine : Forget your calendar. Stealth apps like Clubhouse, High Fidelity, & Slashtalk replace scheduled Zooms with instant socializing & collaboration https://techcrunch.com/... Austen Allred / @austen : There's something beautiful about deep yet early product market fit when the team is just a couple people shipping new features every day. You know you tasted the future but you're still not totally sure what the future will look like. #clubhouse DELIAN Asparouhov / @zebulgar : obv if u aren't on the clubhouse app within the next 24 hrs you will be removed from the silicon valley illuminati sorry i dont make the rules ask the bouncer Ryan Hoover / @rrhoover : @nikitabier Second rule: When you're in the clubhouse, you only talk about clubhouse Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp : This post reminds me of a more optimistic time in tech, when there was always something exciting and new to try https://techcrunch.com/... Katherine Champagne / @keccers : reserving my judgement, but “every VC is talking about it” is in some ways an anti-advertisement, no? https://twitter.com/... Todd Goldberg / @toddg777 : Right now, Clubhouse is essentially a live audio version of tech/VC twitter. Curious to see where this one goes🤓 https://techcrunch.com/... @julianweisser : Clubhouse is like http://turntable.fm/ but for conversation instead of music.
