Brevity was what originally made Twitter popular after the first wave of blogging. I don't think the vogue for blowhards talking at length in 'rooms' is going to last long, whether within Clubhouse or any of the other me-too cloned feature additions in other social media platforms.

One clubhouse is already too many. Listening to clubhouse is like turning a screen reader on your LinkedIn feed.

Technically speaking it's difficult to see if the label 'clone' is justified given that the concept of audio only chat rooms isn't exactly new.

The biggest clubhouse 'innovation' might have been to make it an invite only app and thus create a cascade of FOMO in the style of Gibson's 'antimarketing' in Zero History where someone creates the world's most sought after jeans by simply not selling it anywhere.

I think it’s more that I just don’t want it to be in vogue.

I am not even sure if Clubhouse has network effect in that stickiness of app isn't the number of people using it but the quality of the content. In this case, the audio rooms. As far as I can tell, 90% of rooms I see just aren't that good. I wouldn't go back to use an app just because Lebron James uses it if I don't get any value from it.
