For years, Twitter has been biotech’s social media app of choice. But the industry appears to be breaking into a newer, more exclusive social media app: Clubhouse.
The app, which is only available for iPhones, lets people join conversations — think of a call-in radio show or a multiway phone call. The audio’s not recorded or saved. It’s a bit like an old school party line; anyone can join any conversation, and leave whenever they like.
It all sounds like repulsive, waspish, snobbery masquerading as biotech analyis and an echo chamber for people whose club I’d never want to be a member of anyway. Kudos to the VC who turned it down, obviously having better things to do than promote this. STAT, we’re disappointed in you.
