GistHouse to Revolution­ise Social Media Audio App

-

After years of consuming several social media apps founded from different parts of the world, some groups of investors comprising Africans and Europeans are set to start an Afrocentri­c Audio-Conversati­on social media audio Platform that will rival the popular clubhouse and green room apps.

This was revealed in a statement at the weekend, saying Gisthouse will revolution­ise the way we interact on social media and it is very African.

The statement said the new Audio-gisting social media app called GistHouse is similar in concept to the Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces and Green Room apps in concept, but packs about 10 different new features that most users of the first generation audio apps have been clamouring for.

It added that Gisthouse would allow people around the world to come together to talk, listen and interact with each other in real-time.

According to the statement, people, brands and businesses will also be able to do business on the app, get paid on the app and promote their products and services all in audio format.

It said ‘Gisthouse “is audiobased social networking app that allows people to connect and discuss. It will be different and full of energy and have all the trappings of Afrocentri­c elements that made Africans who they are’.

“Audio-conversati­on apps are the future. The success of Clubhouse in such a short time has lent credence to that fact. Twitter, Spotify and even Facebook are planning their own audio apps.

“‘Most times when new revolution­s in digital technology starts, Africa and Africans have always been invisible until the market is closed to new entrants.”
