Is social audio already dead?
I am a &quot;very online&quot; industry analyst type and I enjoyed listening to a lot of Clubhouse chats in late 2020. It wasn&#x27;t all nonsense - there was value to be had, particularly around gathering current thoughts and, sometimes, inside baseball on various topics, technologies or companies, but you had to listen to a <i>lot</i> to get any gold. Podcasts are far more efficient if you&#x27;re in a sector that has some good ones and if you really want to chat yourself, you&#x27;d probably do better to just create your own podcast or attend some networking events.<p>That said, Twitter is a <i>slightly</i> different kettle of fish. Some of the live OSINT spaces around the invasion of Ukraine were hours ahead of mainstream media and did some amazing work earlier this year. Smaller community groups also seem able to use them productively to organize in a way that Clubhouse didn&#x27;t seem to allow, perhaps because people already have social graphs on Twitter.
