Clubhouse growth has challenges ahead


Clubhouse is the latest social media buzz platform. It's focus is audio communication between users. It's similar to chat rooms from the old days, but using voice instead of how fast we can pound on the keyboard.

It's seen remarkable growth, according to techcrunch.com. Per its estimates, Clubhouse grew from about 3.5 million global downloads as of Feb. 1 to reach 8.1 million by Feb. 16. That is a more than 161% increase in only two weeks.

Other social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, are responding by working on creating their own such tool.

Currently, getting on Clubhouse is by invitation only. I just finally got an invite a few days ago after signing up for it several weeks ago. But, considering the increased competition, Clubhouse says it has a problem in trying to keep up with the demand.

Clubhouse is also not available on Android, which could hurt the platform's growth, especially if Facebook's and Twitter's variations of the idea take off.
