Clubhouse & Agora: There's an interesting article in Yahoo Finance. .
It shows how Clubhouse's strategy of growing slowly to first fix major issues is working (they can plug a potential leak to Chinese Govt by hosting servers in the US instead of China). It also confirms that Agora powers Clubhouse, refuting any remaining birthers: Clubhouse was born from inside Agora's platform and not via Cesarian section from an unknown mother. They state that Clubhouse membership was 3.1 million on Feb 2nd. So the doubling I talked about earlier was probably from 1 million to 2 million in during a week in late January. Also, the 6 million membership that I read about somewhere else could have been after Zuck hosted on Clubhouse, which was after Feb 2nd. Cannot wait for Clubhouse to spread across android devices, and for them to go open access to the entire human race (excluding China of course, as they state in the article below).

Apparently, the Stanford Internet Observatory confirmed "Chinese tech firm Agora Inc supplied back-end infrastructure to Clubhouse". This meant that Agora could access raw audio data for Chinese government agencies or individuals via data relayed to servers hosted in China or by Chinese entities. They concluded that China could not access data if the audio was stored in the United States. Clubhouse wants to fix this before they move forward, and indicate that it will be fixed this coming week.
