Other peoples numbers

What do Instagram and mobile phones have in common?
They both began with having a single use but overtime have become multi-functional.

When it comes to the growth and longevity of Clubhouse, there is a lot to be considered. Firstly, there is likely to be a period of rapid … Continue reading Clubhouse probably won’t become the next Instagram
Why Clubhouse is so appealing?
I think I first heard about Clubhouse in November 2020 but as an Android user I knew that it wouldn’t besomething that I would have access to. I also didn’t personally know anyone that used it. But over the past 6 months it has grown rapidly. I initially heard about Clubhouse on Twitter, people with … Continue reading Why Clubhouse is so appealing?
