To make it clear in one sentence: The scene that Clubhouse wants to cover is to simulate offline large-scale salon activities (currently a single room can accommodate up to 5,000 people), down to one-to-one voice chat.
1. Room
After opening the app, the home page is the room information flow, which is called the corridor by the official image. In the corridor, users can freely choose the room they are interested in to enter. Even if they leave the room, they will not send a reminder to any party in the room, just like leaving the room. The button description is like that - Leave quietly, thereby lowering the psychological threshold for users to use.
The upper part of the room is the stage (Stage), on which there are Moderators and guests (Speaker), and below the stage is the audience (Audience). It is composed of people in a smooth and stable order, and the audience can apply by raising their hands or invite the country email list host to become a guest to participate in the discussion.
The moderator has the highest management rights, and can mute any user in the room, downgrade it to a common user, and move out of the room (including users who are also moderators, so you need to be extra careful when appointing or removing moderators).
Anyone can create a room, and there are three general room types: Open rooms, Social rooms, and Closed rooms, which are open to all users, only open to those who are followed by the moderator, and Private open room.
2. Club
The original intention of the club is to help users build their own community, build and display and promote their own brands. People in the community gather regularly based on common interests, identities or activities. The club is still an experimental function. If an individual wants to establish a club, he still needs to manually apply to the platform, and can only be established after review and confirmation.
The advantage of the club is that managers can create a club room at any time to quickly convene community members, members who join the club can receive invitation reminders, and can also be publicly displayed to the public, welcoming more users to join the discussion.
3. Invite
At present, the platform mainly develops community users through the invitation mechanism. After new users register, they need to be invited by "old users" before they can be officially used. The platform will allocate the invitation quota according to the size of the contribution to the community. Users who have the invitation quota must first allow the application to read The system address book, and then select a contact from the obtained address book list to invite, and the user who has successfully obtained the invitation only needs to log in to the account again to officially use it.
Will be permanently displayed on the profile page of the party accepting the invitation. Through this mechanism, the upstream and downstream relationship chains of each user can be understood, and the links can be traced back and forth until the source is found.
