We have started a new year and finally said goodbye to 2021. We have to admit that a lot happened in 2021 and we have witnessed major news that some of them shocked us and others were impressive.
Since we always love to write about campaigns, adverts, and major exclusive news, we have decided to share with you our top 10 articles of 2021. Don’t be surprised, this news might feel as if they happened ages ago but they actually all happened in 2021.
Let’s have a quick recap on the major events that happened in 2021
1- Clubhouse: The New Audio Chat App That Is Trending Over All Social Network Platforms in 2021
Clubhouse was actually released at the beginning of 2021.
The application made a huge buzz when it was released and at first, it was only available for iPhone users, and months later it was available for Android users as well. Clubhouse depended on invitations only, meaning, you can’t create an account unless you were invited by another user.
As much as the application caused a huge hype, it didn’t last long! In fact, you can see people barely talking about Clubhouse as it lost all the buzz it made in a really short time. We can say that this happened due to the lack of updates and new features added to the applications.
