ANDIn recent months we have witnessed the emergence and rise of Clubhouse , the social network born in 2020 focused on interaction through voice chats , a social network exclusively for iOS mobiles and which has been so well received that new versions have not taken long to emerge. Now it is time to talk about Hotline , the Facebook alternative, which seeks to attract users of this app by adding new features.


This is Facebook's alternative to Clubhouse
Facebook's New Product Division (NPE) launched the testing version of Hotline this week, a platform that can be described as a combination of Instagram Live and Clubhouse.

The reason is that Hotline allows chat room creators estonia business email database to talk to their audience, who can then ask questions via text and audio, just like on Clubhouse. However, the main difference between the two social networks is the ability to broadcast video, as participants can also choose to turn on their cameras and turn the meeting into a sort of live stream.

Hotline was launched by Eric Hazzard , who joined Facebook in 2017 when the giant social network acquired his TBH (To Be Honest) app, an app that focused on creating personalized, anonymous surveys. TBH gained 2.5 million daily active users in just nine weeks and saw more than 1 billion survey responses before it was taken off the market.

With Hotline, Hazzard is returning to developing a product in the Q&A space, but this time, the new app is inspired by Clubhouse. So much so that Hotline’s user interface might look extremely familiar to you if you’ve used Clubhouse before.
