Clubhouse heats up competition in digital market

By Sefa Sengul

ANKARA (AA) - Facebook and Twitter started to develop the features that allow audio-chat, as Clubhouse, an audio-chat social networking app, has intensified the competition in the digital market.

Bringing the new approach to social media networks with voice-based chat rooms, Clubhouse's weekly number of users exceeded two million, according to data obtained by Anadolu Agency.

Twitter and Facebook, two of the most popular social media networks in the world, began working on alternative products to compete with Clubhouse.

Twitter, which recently implemented the fleets feature similar to the story feature of Instagram, prepared audio-chat rooms as an alternative to Clubhouse.

Additionally, it was reported that Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg is also working on a similar feature called Fireside.
