Last week, ClubHouse announced plans to launch its app for Android, and now we see that this has happened and users can download the app from the Play Store.Clubhouse is a voice chat application that requires you to receive an invitation from someone who has already registered with you.

At first, only iPhone users running iOS could use the app, but eventually we saw it available on the Play Store so Android users could use it as well.Although Clubhouse is a fledgling app designed in the late 2020s, it has managed to reach more than 10 million weekly users in a short period of time, which is an astonishing number.

Of course, the main reason for the popularity of this application is the use of celebrities such as Ilan Musk, Kevin Hart, Mark Zuckerberg, etc., and when such people enter an application where you can chat by voice, a large number of their fans are definitely present.

Find.Clubhouse, however, if it was limited to iOS, it certainly could not continue to grow well, and the decision to release an Android version of the app was very clever, so that new users could enter it.

Clubhouse has released its Android version in a situation where powerful and popular applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Spotify, Reddit and LinkedIn have either added a similar feature or have announced plans to add such a feature.For example, a similar example of a clubhouse for Twitter is called Spaces, and Android users can also use it.

Spaces was able to attract a lot of attention in a short time and was well received.

A few months ago we found out that Facebook was studying the use of redania's most wanted for its platform, and although we did not know how it would integrate it then, it has now been revealed that it will create its own cryptocurrency for WhatsApp.According to Bloomberg , the new cryptocurrency for WhatsApp will serve to transfer money directly to the messaging application and in fact will focus first on the remittance market in India.The cryptocurrency for WhatsApp will be backed with US dollarsDespite the fact that the creation of the cryptocurrency for WhatsApp is in a premature phase of development, it has been stated that it would be a “Stablecoin” currency , that is, a cryptocurrency that links its value to a (conventional) fiat currency , which in this case would be the US dollar.Mark Zuckerberg story: the nerd who created Facebook and changed the worldWith this, the cryptocurrency for WhatsApp could guarantee its stability and would be resistant to the volatility that has affected Bitcoin and the rest of the current cryptocurrencies.In fact, the creation of a cryptocurrency for WhatsApp is not so surprising, especially after the company hired former PayPal president David Marcus to run its Messenger application since 2014, while in May, Marcus became the head of the company's Blockchain initiatives .From residential and commercial sales and leasing to property management, off-plan and short-term rentals, Skymarketing got you covered with excellent opportunities like capital smart city, Blue world city and park view city islamabad.

"Like many other companies, Facebook is exploring different ways to harness the power of blockchain technology, " a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.

" This new team is exploring many different applications .

"But what is known is that WhatsApp is extremely popular in India , since it has more than 200 million users, a country that also leads the sending of remittances in the world: no less than  69,000 million dollars to India in 2017 , according to this year's World Bank figures.In this way , Facebook's strategy is clear : enter a market with great potential while solving high rates for international transfers by helping workers send money to their families.A stable cryptocurrency designed to make money transfersHowever, this is not an easy project to develop.

During the past year there was a boom in cryptocurrency projects related to stablecoins.At a given time, more than 120 companies were developing this type of cryptocurrency according to the Stable Report data, and it is that this concept is very attractive since it would be much easier to use in daily purchases.Despite this, more than one of these projects has had to close due to the fact that they have not achieved stability and credibility on the part of the users.Facebook has 2.5 billion users around the world, and more than $ 40 billion in annual revenue , plus more regulatory experience, giving it a greater chance of becoming a stable base.If successful, the cryptocurrency for WhatsApp would be the first by a technology company , and what better than in the Indian market, which with 480 million internet users, represents a tremendous growth opportunity for the company of Mark Zuckerberg .

That parping sound you just heard is Mark Zuckerberg paying attention

Facebook will face a class-action lawsuit with a payout potential of $35bn over how its photo tagging and facial recognition software works.

A US appeal court ruled yesterday that the antisocial network's attempts to bat away the sueball should fall accordingly, opening up Mark Zuckerberg's company to potentially billions of dollars in damages payouts.

Originally filed in Illinois, the class-action case alleged Facebook ignored a local privacy law in the state when it rolled out its facial recognition technology.

The Zuckerborg's lawyers tried to argue that the local federal court had cocked up by letting the sueball roll on instead of throwing it out.

"Because a violation of the Illinois statute injures an individual's right to privacy, we reject Facebook's claim that the plaintiffs have failed to allege a concrete injury-in-fact for purposes of Article III standing.

Facebook is keen to become a major news distributor again, after being lambasted for years over its role in aiding the spread of misinformation.

A report from the Wall Street Journal last night indicated that the social network is offering major publications multi-million dollar deals to bring them on board its upcoming news service.

The report noted the company’s offer as much as $3 million to some publications; it has already had some discussions with ABC News, Bloomberg, Dow Jones, and the Washington Post.

Hours later, the social network confirmed to CNBC that it’s launching a dedicated news tab this fall.

Earlier in April, CEO Mark Zuckerberg had mentioned the company wants to introduce this feature by the end of the year.

At the time, he said the company would take on advice from outside the organization to build it the right way.

Facebook has approached several prominent news organizations to license its content for a new news-oriented section of the Facebook site, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

It's a significant change in strategy for the social media giant, which previously explored an ad-sharing model under Facebook's Instant Articles program.

The Journal reports that Facebook has approached a number of news outlets, including ABC News, Dow Jones (parent of the WSJ), The Washington Post, and Bloomberg.

Deals would last for three years, according to sources who talked to the Journal.

The new initiative could launch as early as this year, though it's not clear if any news outlets have actually agreed to Facebook's terms.

Why Facebook might want to do this is easy to see.

Facebook is prepping the launch of a “news tab” that could see media outlets paid millions of dollars in exchange for their content.

News of the plan first appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday and was later confirmed by Facebook to Digital Trends, though the social networking giant declined to offer any specific details about the initiative.

Sources claiming to have knowledge of the matter told the Journal that Facebook has so far approached the likes of ABC News, Dow Jones, The Washington Post, and Bloomberg to offer up to $3 million a year in exchange for their news content.

But it’s not currently clear if this figure is per media outlet or a payment to be shared across the companies.

Either way, it marks a move away from the payment model used by Facebook’s Instant Articles, which gives publishers a cut of the revenue generated by ads shown with the stories.

The new section will reportedly allow media outlets to decide how much of an article shows on the site.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, 58, leads the first company in the world to become worth $1 trillion.

But he actually is a lot less wealthy than leaders of other, less revenue-generating corporations.

Cook, who is the son of a shipyard worker and a pharmacy employee, said he's not motivated by money, and that shows through in what we know about the private CEO's habits.

Cook's actual net worth is certainly even higher than that — but information on his property, investment portfolio, and cash on hand isn't publicly available.

Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Page are all worth tens of billions.

That’s not to say the company doesn’t know how to run Instagram – since Facebook bought the platform for $1 billion in 2012, it’s grown to have more than a billion monthly users.

There also seems to be a bit of ego: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is angry that Facebook doesn’t get credit for the explosive growth of Instagram and WhatsApp, according to The Information.

The move shows that Facebook has a fundamental misunderstanding about why Instagram is successful — and why Facebook is failing (at least in the U.S.).

Facebook is a tarnished brand: Between clickbait, fake news, a $5 billion dollar settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over privacy violations, disastrous congressional hearings, lackluster customer service, and a widely disliked CEO, the platform has seen a signficant decrease in usage.
