Clubhouse, the Silicon Valley Exceptional Invitational soundtrack, is now one of the fastest growing social media programs in the world.
What happened: According to Sensor Tower, an app analytics company, Clubhouse ranks in the top 30 of apps downloaded by iPhone users in the US this week, ranking first in nine countries including Germany, Japan, Italy, Taiwan and Brazil .
According to a data analyst, as of February 1, 2021, the app has crossed nearly 6 million registered users.
Clubhouse is less than a year old, but it is already valued at about $ 1 billion. The newcomer hopes to popularize audio as the next big social medium, instead of photos or text.
The application was developed by Paul Davidson and Rohan Seth.
Why it matters: The US based app gained in popularity after Tesla Ing (NASDAQ: TSLA) Founder Elon Musk made its platform debut on February 1st. These include China, where the hashtag “Clubhouse Invite Code” was the social media platform Weibo this week.
Its appearance probably also led to the share price of a similar name, but unrelated company, rising this week.
Then on Thursday, Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined the app in the app The Good Time Show under the name “Zuck23.” Zuckerberg was there with fellow Facebookers Andrew Boz and Fiji Simon.
Due to the popularity among Chinese users, the invitation codes of the app are now selling for $ 23 to $ 62 on Taobao, an online market owned by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABY).
