IF 13 debunked so much but in case they might be of use in the future, rather than losing them in the depths of chat logs, decided to slide them here with some new thoughts that came to mind.

THE DEBUNKED

if 13 as a transition from antag Aichi to antag Shuka

After Bushi’s tweet showing a couple of caps from the episode, seeing Aichi smiling and Shuka dazed left the impression that it was the scene where Aichi revealed to Emi that Shuka had been working for him all along, thus breaking her spirit and eradicating their connection as well as Emi’s ability to transform. It was how she recognized Aichi from the photo that Emi showed her when they first met.

But with Shuka’s fixation on him, Sanctuary and getting home, had been suspicious that she might even usurp Aichi’s throne — as with how his ascension had locked her out of Sanctuary — and when Emi, overcoming her reliance on Shuka to transform and Realize, was able to manifest that power herself, defeated Aichi, Shuka rose as the greater threat.

Until this point, Aichi had essentially cornered Shuka, giving her no option but to serve as a double agent with her return to Sanctuary (or wherever her home is) dangled over her head if she sought out Majesty Lord, the greatest threat, and brought him to Sanctuary to remove him from the picture. This was where Ren’s reluctance to entrust Blaster Dark to Shuka and Emi stemmed from; he was aware that Shuka was working beneath Aichi, but to flat-out make the accusation in front of Emi, who had seen Shuka as repairing the distortions, would only case suspicion unto himself instead. Therefore, he had to remain coy, refusing to hand over Blaster Dark to Shuka as doing so was essentially the same thing as handing him over to Aichi.

But with Aichi’s defeat, Shuka would no longer have any restriction imposed on her and full access to Sanctuary, she returned to full power and could allow the distortions to run rampant, with no need to search for any unit or any guise to maintain.

if 14 as an episode paralleling KaiAi and EmiShuka’s relationships / Episode 178-179

Though she had her brother back, Emi had lost something invaluable: a friend like no other. While trying to process the events of the previous episode, Emi crossed ways with Kai-kun, who extended a hand to help (as he did in the original timelines with Aichi when they first met) and listened to Emi’s story about losing a dear friend, which reminded him of Ibuki.

With the trials Kai-kun and Aichi have been through throughout the years, in both iterations of their story, he would be ideal for hearing out Emi going through the same thing and offering advice, even if this version of him had no experience with the same (or had, but it was limited to Miwa and Ibuki if he still moved away).

Having gotten stronger and weaker across the years for the sake of and in pursuit of one another, having Kai-kun be the one who picks up the pieces and help Emi back on her feet in her own, similar journey with Shuka would be neat.

IF as a shield world

Going by the parallels or facets of Legion Mate that IF has been playing with, the removal of Aichi could actually have been brought about as a direct result of the Psyqualia Zombie arc and just how much of a threat he is to a force attacking Cray.

If the Jammers’ intention is to destroy people’s relationship with Vanguard, that motivation could overlap with Brandt’s drive to sever the flow of destiny between the two worlds and feed on it. But with Aichi’s interference — with the show that even Deleting him wasn’t enough, that Cray was willing to intervene and rescue him from losing that connection — extra measures would need to be taken in order to establish their campaign. The next best thing: seal Aichi away within a world where he never came into contact with Vanguard to erode that relationship.

The purpose of IF was to keep Aichi contained in a manner similar to the moon sanctuary, allowing the distortions to grow until they tore apart IF World, and Aichi along with it — or to break him so that, once IF collapsed, allowing him to wreak havoc on the outside in the same vein as his Psyqualia Zombie self, but warped so far that there should be no hope of his salvation.

[Yes, this is putting a lot of emphasis on Aichi in a season where Emi is the focus but this plays on the likeness to Legion Mate that IF has going on]

IF World as a Lostbelt

Just a little easter egg idea that popped into mind during the week. Shuka being the only character with no Outside World counterpart struck as curious. Though this is essentially debunked too, it might have been foreshadowing that, as like IF World isn’t supposed to exist, Shuka played the same role as the allies of FGO’s Lostbelts to erase their dead-end timelines and vanish along with them, leading to Shuka’s erasure once IF was resolved and faded away.

IF’s “Creation” and the Sendous being their Outside World selves dragged inside

This is the only thing the episode didn’t flat-out debunk, and seemed to imply might have some truth to it, so it can sit in this little middle ground. IF is described as being “created”, and the proper timeline described as the “Outside World” makes it sound as though IF is a contained world, into which Outside World characters — Ibuki, Suiko, Rekka, Ren — can enter. But Emi has all along been unclear.

Emi and Aichi could have, all along, been the Outside World siblings pulled inside IF by its creation, their memories sealed away and living their childhoods of IF World, which is why Emi has no recollection of Aichi playing Vanguard, but has a pivotal role in seeing Sanctuary and getting him back. As for Aichi’s, they factor into a new branch below.

POST IF-13

Outside World Aichi’s memories

Something strikes as strange that Aichi would hate Vanguard solely because he never met Kai-kun and began to play; Ibuki had a direct reasoning to despise the game, but there isn’t anything that would present it as a scapegoat for Aichi’s hatred than anything else in the world.

This allows for two possibilities:

— Possession by the Jammers’ root / which might originate from Brandt

Despite his isolation, Aichi showed himself to harbour the same kind personality (almost weirdly, as one would expect he’d remain downtrodden like prior to the babie meeting) until Blaster Blade was presented before him. It’s hard to tell whether the noise he made could be the mask slipping, genuine rage on Aichi’s part or some head Jammer seizing control, it could be any of them, same with visually. This might be his true self, or, like Destiny Conductor’s ability to when he reunited with Misaki, (his) Jammer’s absolute control over him allowing it to fake the real Aichi’s personality.

Other than Ren, Rekka and Shuka — beings not of IF’s Earth — no-one has any power, supernatural or otherwise, yet Aichi wields an enormous amount. It feels safe to assume that IF itself doesn’t possess any power, if it’s a reflection of Outside World, so Aichi’s power must come from something that has taken control and twisted him / taken advantage of his IF circumstances, and it could be that, given its goal of disrupting the relationship between Vanguard and Earth’s humans, it heralds from Brandt rather than an enemy of Cray’s lands.

— Outside World Aichi’s memories were withheld and then thrust upon him

Going by the insinuation that IF Aichi is also the one of Outside World, perhaps his pre-IF memories were sealed until a moment in High School, long past his point of meeting with everyone, when they were unleashed and revealed to him that it was possible to be rescued. Feeling scorned and forsaken within IF, Aichi reacted poorly to the revelation and sought to unleash his rage against Vanguard itself for failing to save him, allowing him to wither within a world that suffocated him with the same loneliness prolonged. Perhaps, ultimately, his goal is to find Kai-kun and sever their relationship altogether a la Reverse Kai-kun so there remains no lingering ties to Vanguard (not that far off Deletion, playing into the fact they’ve switched Aichi and Ibuki’s roles). His recruitment of Kourin, Shingo and Naoki stemmed from their intended place among the Cardfight Club which never formed.

Misaki exclusion from SK4 and Morikawa’s recruitment

As for Misaki, she represented something separate, as someone who was present within Aichi’s life prior to High School. To have her around would deepen the pain within Aichi’s heart, as a representation of Card Capital and the people around them (or even, if his original continuity memories were given to him and she represented the Q4 of that world), and so he refused to recruit her.

Instead, Morikawa, who had initially led him there and back to Kai-kun by the theft of Blaster Blade, filled her space. By taking Morikawa away, there would have never been anything to allow the Middle School Aichi to reconnect with anyone or anything that had been keeping him going since the day of that fateful meeting.

(it was 100% for the gag that he got thrown out before episode 1′s halfway point but let me believe there was a deeper meaning)

Q4 vs Miyaji / SK4

With Aichi’s choosing of his Cardfight Club’s members, the group that the manga and Reboot had emphasized after ts formation, that leaves free the Card Capital regulars to team up with Emi, as the group at the heart of the first Reboot arc and the original continuity — pitting against one another two parts of the story, be it 2011 vs 2018 or Foo Fighter Arc vs Psyqualia Zombie and Continued Arcs.

Wearing Aichi’s middle school jacket and holding his place, Emi recruits the members of the team, in line with the “new arc” idea played with in the preview, as the story moves away from episodic distortion solving, in hopes they might help bring Aichi back to his senses.

Takuto’s capture

Takuto being captured / sealed by Aichi is a fascinating turn of events, given the role Takuto has always played, and how no human has truly gotten the upper hand on him (hi Voidkuto). If he stormed Sanctuary with the intention of dragging Aichi, Kourin and the others back, please show us that fight because boy.

But in the arc prior, Takuto, even if not himself but Destiny Conductor, had so much power over Aichi that he was able to assume absolutely control (i.e. Aichi using “watashi” when telling Naoki to let him go, the faces he pulled during his fight with Misaki, Destiny Conductor’s astonishment when Aichi’s rage allowed him to act of his own accord and fight Ibuki, etc.), but here, the tables have turned completely on him and their positions essentially reversed.

It’s also interesting to think about the Royal Paladin vs. Gold Paladin dynamic that presents, and after Takuto forced Gold Paladin on Aichi during Asia-hen, yet they find themselves on the losing side when their figureheads clash in this scenario.

Majesty Lord Blaster

This isn’t new per se, but not ruling the possibility out so here goes. As with the original Psyqualia arc, Ren noted about how light and darkness are feuding within Aichi and how Majesty Lord represented that. It’s curious how he holds such a prominent role after not appearing within the Reboot and Exculpate being the ace of the Foo Fighter arc, though it could be Majesty Lord’s intention is to serve the same purpose for IF Aichi as Psyqualia Ren and remove the darkness that’s twisted the subject beyond recognition and that’s why Shuka has been so desperate to Realize him.

IF14: new arc, new ED

self-explanatory, I’m ready to die

Prolog program for block world problem

Prolog program for block world problem code#

Prolog program for block world problem plus#

% You have to remember the path taken so far to avoid cycles, % Finding a path from an Initial State I to a Final State F. % Moving blocks between three stacks, also recording the move % (The path is given in the reverse order no matter)Ītomic_list_concat(StateStrs," ~w (~q)",).ĭebug(pather,".Accepted: ~w",).ĭebug(pather,".Visited: ~w",).ĭebug(pather,".Already moved: ~w",).ĭebug(pather,"Final state reached: ~w",).ĭebug(pather,"Now at: ~w with path length ~d and path ~w",). As Prolog doesn't allow to switch out the search algorithm (why not? it's been over 40 years), you have to roll one yourself.Ītomic_list_concat("],S). You really need breadth-first search (or rather, Iterative Deepening).

Prolog program for block world problem code#

In the code below, the check is done by fail_if_visited/2.Īdditionally, a depth-first search according to the above will find a solution path, but the will likely not be a short path and not the solution sought. actually a nice exercise select a move/2 probabilistically. Otherwise the program may cycle forever (depending on how it hits the move/2 move-generating predicate. You have to check on each state expansion whether a new state might already be on the path. In fact, you construct the path through state path on return only in the third argument here: path(X,Y,).

Prolog program for block world problem plus#

(Additionally, the solution you give is not a reachable state, the second line has a void on a wrong position, plus the path is reversed).

Failure to test whether a state has already been visited.

Depth first search through state space.

Other improvements: Use a list to represent the stack, this makes the state much more appealing.ġ That's the year Prolog was discovered/conceived/delivered. Rather stick to your highly clean style and rather do more querying instead! That is what Prolog is excellent at! Yes, I could have improved it somewhat, say by using path/4, but not by much. Note that I did not dare to touch your clean code. OK, one heuristics would be the term size of a solution. You would need to inform the program what kind of preference you have. So if we are exploring this set, where shall we start? What does it mean to be the best solution? The one that when uploaded on Utube produces the most upvotes? So what we are doing here is completely uninformed search. Or, see it from another angle: The set of solutions for X is pretty large. These are all fundamental questions, but they are independent of the programming problem as such. Shouldn't it be finite? And: Is it possible to rule out such long paths for such trivial problems? Any toddler can keep the search space small. How far can you get with this formulation? Currently, I found a path of length 48. Oh yes, there are! Now it does make sense to rule out such paths. Are there really any cycles? Let's ask that first:Į = state(void,on(c,void),on(a,on(b,void))) Now, is this really the best way to ask? After all, many of the answers might be simple cycles, putting a block into one place and back again. And out of a sudden Prolog answered with a shorter answer than you expected! See what I did? I only added length(X, N) in front. Path( state(on(c,on(b,on(a,void))), void, void), OK, so let's try out any length! Also this is something Prolog loves. How long shall that list be? We know not (that is, I don't). Instead of asking for a concrete answer which demands from your Prolog system quite a bit of ingenuity, let's formulate your answer as a query! I tried it and realized that you have some nasty syntax errors in them, and after that, the query failed.īut there is a cheaper way! Let's just limit the length of the list and let Prolog fill out the rest. Instead, you can reformulate your queries sparingly. State(on(c,on(b,on(a,void))), void, void)].įor a first test, there is no need to rewrite your code. State(void, on(c,void), on(void(a,on(b,void))), I got ERROR: Out of local stack, but I want that that X would be X=[state(void, void, on(c,on(a,on(b,void)))), The problem is that the predicate path doesn't work as I want, i.e., if I type path(state(on(c,on(b,on(a,void))), void, void), state(void, void, on(c,on(a,on(b,void)))), X). Where move give us the possible movements that you can use and path should give us the path that you have to take from X to Y. Move(state(X, OldY, on(Z, NewZ)), state(X, on(Z, OldY), NewZ)). Move(state(OldX, Y, on(Z, NewZ)), state(on(Z, OldX), Y, NewZ)). Move(state(X, on(Y, NewY), OldZ), state(X, NewY, on(Y, OldZ))). Move(state(OldX, on(Y, NewY), Z), state(on(Y, OldX), NewY, Z)). Move(state(on(X, NewX), Y, OldZ), state(NewX, Y, on(X, OldZ))). I have the following code: move(state(on(X, NewX), OldY, Z), state(NewX, on(X, OldY), Z)).

“You want to know what your big mistake was Black?” “What mistake?” “It’s that stolen body! Every muscle! Every cell—HIS BODY was built from a lifetime of intense battles! But you took it—it’s all secondhand. You feel the power in those Saiyan cells, but you don’t truly understand it, because you didn’t build it, and YOU’LL NEVER LEARN TO THINK LIKE THAT CLOWN!!!!” —Vegeta + Goku Black, Dragon Ball Super, episode 63 Consistency, iterative deepening, and the peacock of the night. Those of you who have heard me talk about boxing have heard me talk about consistency; pressing forward with a system or process vis-à-vis training—making it integral—a part of life—the simple (though not easy) dynamic of putting in the work regularly and having a process already mapped out before the day begins —whereby the only responsibility is in following through. Those of you who have heard me talk about AI have heard me talk about iterative deepening, a search algorithm which combines the speed of breadth-first search with the thoroughness of depth-first search to eliminate as many non-relevant nodes in the test set as possible while optimizing efficiency. And the peacock of the night? It’s scientific name is Saturnia Pyri. The females of this moth species native to Eastern Europe release powerful pheromones—among the most potent in the animal kingdom—to attract males. The males are actually born without mouths—therefore they cannot eat and die within 3 days of hatching. Their sole directive from the moment they’re born is to find a female to mate with before they perish—otherwise their short life is wasted. The point here is focus—systematically hacking away at all nonessential factors, blocking out all disruptions/interruptions, and continuously moving forward with the mission. This skill—the push forward factor—is the only way a worthy ideal can be accomplished—it is the only way strength is built—it is the only way outdated paradigms are broken; they don’t bend for you, they must be shattered by an unstoppable force. #boxingtraining #boxing👊 #oilpaintings #oilpaintersofinstagram #oilpaintersofamerica #consistencyiskey #consistencyiskey🔑 #ifbbfigure #snapseededit (at Covington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-uE4sORNw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What's Clubhouse? [+Should Marketers Care?]

New Post has been published on http://tiptopreview.com/what-is-clubhouse-should-marketers-care/

What's Clubhouse? [+Should Marketers Care?]

In 2020, you might need heard your favourite influencers speaking a few mysterious new social media app known as Clubhouse.

However, except you had an enormous online following of your personal, you may simply be gaining access to the app now.

Till a couple of months in the past, Clubhouse was a platform the place big-name celebrities, company leaders, Silicon Valley investors, and some of the web’s top global influencers might have uncensored audio group chats about their lives, hobbies, work, or industries.

Now, because the invite-only Clubhouse continues to realize media protection and a rising pool of non-celebrity customers, you is perhaps questioning, “What the heck is it? And, how do I get in on the action?”

Under, we’ll clarify the place Clubhouse got here from, what it truly is, and the professionals and cons of utilizing it in your marketing technique.

What’s Clubhouse?

Clubhouse is an invite-only social media app that permits customers to launch or drop in on “Rooms” — or audio-only chat rooms with pals, followers, or most people. To hitch the app, customers will need to have an iPhone and obtain an invite from a Clubhouse member.

Clubhouse was launched in March 2020 by Paul Davison, who beforehand labored at firms together with Pinterest and Google, and Rohan Seth, a former Google engineer. In response to a post from Davison and Seth, Clubhouse was created after a handful of social media app experiments.

“After a lot of iteration in the audio space, we launched Clubhouse in March of last year,” the co-founders wrote. “Our goal was to build a social experience that felt more human—where instead of posting, you could gather with other people and talk. Our north star was to create something where you could close the app at the end of the session feeling better than you did when you opened it, because you had deepened friendships, met new people, and learned.”

Initially, Clubhouse was marketed to top-tier influencers, celebrities, Silicon Valley traders, and trade thought leaders, however not too long ago opened to extra normal audiences. Just a few of the app’s first high-profile users embody Drake, Daymond John, Elon Musk, and Oprah Winfrey. Early on, these notable customers had been heard chatting in Rooms associated to their pursuits, hobbies, causes, or industries.

Regardless of Clubhouse’s exclusivity, it was valued at $100 million and acquired a $12 million funding from Andreessen Horowitz inside a 12 months of its launch.

Most not too long ago, Clubhouse has begun to offer entry to a bigger pool of customers by permitting every new member to ask two pals of their very own. This has triggered the person base to leap from 600,000 active users in December 2020 to greater than 2 million at present.

“This past week, two million people around the world—musicians, scientists, creators, athletes, comedians, parents, entrepreneurs, stock traders, non-profit leaders, authors, artists, real estate agents, sports fans, and more—came to Clubhouse to talk, learn, laugh, be entertained, meet and connect. It’s the most exciting thing we’ve ever been a part of,” wrote the Clubhouse team in a Jan. 24 weblog submit.

Why Most of Us are Simply Studying About Clubhouse

Simply listening to about Clubhouse now? You aren’t alone.

As talked about, Clubhouse was initially focused to high-profile industry “elites,” corresponding to celebrities, CEOs, and prime online influencers. For some time, most of these customers had been the one ones who might ship and obtain Clubhouse invitations. On prime of the app’s invite-only nature, it is solely available to iPhone users.

Whereas Clubhouse’s early exclusivity made it attention-grabbing and alluring to the every-day social media person, it triggered the app’s consciousness and user-base to develop at a sluggish however regular tempo.

Now that the app’s turn out to be extra accessible to social media customers, it has been getting extra consciousness online and throughout information media. Right now, entrepreneurs are additionally beginning to surprise if and the way they might use Clubhouse — or one thing prefer it — of their technique.

In truth, many professionals, enterprise leaders, and non-profit members can already be heard talking in Rooms that debate a subject associated to their model, trade, or mission.

For instance, a latest Room I dropped in on featured a bunch of legal professionals aiming to supply schooling round patent safety. Whereas this content material was intriguing to listeners, it additionally might have introduced every lawyer’s agency extra consciousness:

Except for entrepreneurs, main social media firms are additionally attempting to benefit from Clubhouse’s audio social media traits.

Shortly after Fb CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke in a Clubhouse Room, the New York Occasions reported that his social media firm was allegedly building a similar audio platform. In the meantime, Twitter simply started rolling out Twitter Areas — a drop-in audio function with its app — to a small group of beta testers.

For the time being, Clubhouse looks as if a promising method to community and construct a group online, and its audio social format is already being adopted by rivals. Nevertheless, in a time the place we see a handful of latest online platforms every year, is Clubhouse actually a game-changer within the social media area? Or is it simply one other over-hyped app you should not waste your marketing efforts on?

Under, I will give a short description of how the platform works after which weigh the professionals and cons of utilizing Clubhouse for marketing.

How Clubhouse Works

Whereas we’ll be publishing an in depth how-to information for the Clubhouse platform, which we’ll hyperlink to on this submit later, here is a fast description of how a number of the main options work.

Clubhouse’s Essential Tabs

When getting into Clubhouse, customers will discover a homepage that highlights ongoing Rooms associated to their pursuits or followers. They’ll additionally discover search, message inbox, calendar, and notification icons within the higher navigation.

When tapping the search or “Explore” tab, customers can scroll by way of a feed of advised Rooms, Golf equipment, or individuals to observe. They’ll additionally use the search bar to search out particular people or Golf equipment. Nevertheless, it doesn’t appear to be customers can search for particular Rooms but.

If customers can’t attend a Room after they’re browsing the Clubhouse app however wish to drop into one later, they’ll faucet the calendar icon.to see or create their scheduled Rooms.

Clubhouse Rooms

Getting into a Room is basically like attending a webinar or Zoom assembly with no video and muted viewers.

Attendees, who can be a part of or go away a Room at any time, enter (or drop-in) as mechanically muted listeners. In the event that they’d like to talk or ask questions, they’ll faucet the “Raise Hand” icon within the decrease proper nook of the Room web page. Room moderators will then be notified of the hand increase request and might ignore it or unmute the attendee.

Under is a take a look at what Clubhouse Rooms appear to be:

Visually, attendees of the Room can see solely the profile photographs and names of present members, with moderators and audio system showing on the prime of the display screen.

Customers and moderators can even add individuals they observe to a Room by tapping the “+” button within the decrease navigation. This offers their pals a notification that they have been invited to a Room and allows them to open the app and be a part of it immediately.

Beginning a Room

On the backside of the homepage, customers can even faucet “Start a Room” to launch both a “Closed” chat open to particular individuals solely, a “Social” chat open to all of a person’s following, or an “Open” chat that anybody on Clubhouse can drop into.

Customers can even faucet the nine-dot icon on the decrease homepage navigation to have a personal audio chat with particular followers who’re online.

Room moderators, who both launched the Room or had been assigned to a moderator position after the Room launched, see the same web page that attendees see. Nevertheless, in addition they get notifications of latest Room attendees and an inventory of attendees who’ve raised their hand requesting to talk.

One attention-grabbing factor to notice is Room solely ends when a moderator ends it or when the ultimate moderator leaves it. Moreover, moderators who need to go away a Room with out ending it may well assign another person to turn out to be a moderator. Which means that a Room with a number of moderators can go on for hours and even days.

Due to how lengthy Rooms final, and the truth that attendees can be a part of or exit at any time when they need, you may commonly hear extra seasoned Room moderators re-introduce themselves, what they’re discussing, and who else is talking all through a Room occasion.

Golf equipment and Networking

Except for creating Rooms, customers can even observe particular person profiles of pals, influencers, or thought leaders of their trade.

They’ll additionally be a part of or create Golf equipment, that are teams of customers with curiosity in particular matters, hobbies, or industries. Check out a number of the Golf equipment that appeared once I searched, “growth marketing.”

As soon as customers be a part of a Membership, they are often notified if a Membership’s supervisor launches a Room associated to its core subject. For instance, if I had been to affix one of many Development Advertising and marketing Golf equipment proven above, I might be immediately notified in the event that they hosted a Room on a progress marketing tactic.

The Professionals and Cons of Clubhouse.

Professionals of Utilizing Clubhouse

1. Clubhouse might assist manufacturers construct belief and group.

In 2020, customers started to favor firms with genuine, reliable messaging over big-name firms with a long time of brand name loyalty. This shift will probably proceed by way of 2021.

Why? In a time of economic uncertainty and fixed information occasions, customers need to know that manufacturers care about their prospects and share values with them. Whereas making a dwell, uncensored, unscripted Room associated to your model’s trade may sound nerve-wracking, it might assist some manufacturers appear extra genuine and reliable.

“Clubhouse offers a lot of opportunities for connection with celebrities, a vast variety of people in different industries, and even close friends,” says Krystal Wu, HubSpot’s social media group supervisor. “It opens the door for dwell conversations permitting individuals to be weak inside a group area. This sort of connection is exclusive to ship audio content material with small to massive teams of individuals. Its unscripted content material that anybody might be part of.”

Manufacturers that use Clubhouse might earn credibility by discussing matters they’re consultants on. However, they might additionally earn belief as a result of they’ve made themselves out there to pay attention and discuss candidly with their audiences.

2. The app’s content material is at all times evolving.

Whereas the app initially hosted conversations associated to leisure, enterprise, and expertise on account of its preliminary target market, the audio content material on the platform has broadened and developed

In truth, CNBC recently reported that a few of Clubhouse’s most participating Rooms have been launched by modern Black creatives who’ve executed heavy experimentation on the platform.

For instance, as a substitute of internet hosting a chat or dialogue, one group of Black performers hosted an audio-only production of Disney’s “The Lion King.”

Whereas there is not a recording of the Clubhouse efficiency, led by Noelle Chesnut Whitmore, Kam DeLa and Bomani X, here is a screenshot from the occasion, which exhibits every Room moderator because the character they performed:

Image Source

“What started as a random conversation on Clubhouse has scaled to something much greater. We have so many talented people contributing their time and energy to this performance,” Whitmore said in a press release. “Our goal is just to spread some joy to people through these events. I never imagined this would get such a huge response.”

In one other instance, a cocktail brand called Loop hosted a Room that inspired members to have a cocktail and be a part of an informal dialog with no particular subject. Whereas this technique is much less structured, it allows individuals who need to study extra in regards to the model or simply need to chat with different cocktail drinkers to attach.

As a result of Clubhouse is pretty new, there aren’t main content-related expectations simply but. Which means that anybody from any group, trade, non-profit, or model can experiment with it and study what’s actually participating to the app’s rising viewers.

three. The app is primed for thought management.

Clubhouse’s person base was constructed round influencers and thought leaders. Which means that customers are probably coming to the app to listen to the newest ideas, unique data, or discussions straight from trade consultants.

For instance, the scheduled Room proven beneath options Coinbase Co-Founder and CEO Brian Armstrong.

In a Clubhouse Room just like the one proven above, customers might study extra a few model like Coinbase and ask its chief questions in regards to the firm or its trade. Via Rooms like this, Coinbase and different manufacturers might increase each firm consciousness and credibility with audiences who pay attention.

four. Audiences need online communities and audio content material.

Within the final 12 months, individuals who had been caught at house turned to webinars, virtual events, and different online experiences to study extra about their pursuits, hear from others of their trade, or simply really feel a way of connection to individuals exterior of their households.

However, whereas digital occasions had been useful for a lot of, most of us finally handled display screen fatigue.

As a result of an excessive amount of screentime might be mentally draining, customers additionally checked out podcasts or camera-free webinars. Now, these audiences may very well be primed for Clubhouse’s audio-only nature.

“Clubhouse’s most appealing quality is that it’s a break from the nonstop screen time we all exist in,” says Kelly Hendrickson, HubSpot social media marketing supervisor. “Clubhouse is also a wonderful place to have conversations among niche communities and topics.”

And, whereas customers are craving private connections and dwell content material greater than ever, many manufacturers are attempting to construct stronger online communities and launch efficient digital occasion methods.

In the end, Clubhouse’s audio-only format might assist manufacturers meet and construct an engaged group of followers on an interactive, genuine, and dwell platform.

Cons of Clubhouse

1. The app nonetheless has restricted audiences.

In the end, certainly one of Clubhouse’s largest model marketing flaws can also be what makes it so intriguing: exclusivity.

“I am generally against anything that is invite-only as it creates a culture of ‘others’,” Hendrickson says. “Any time you need to be ‘in the know’ to have a seat at the table, how can you also be inclusive?”

Whereas Clubhouse may pose distinctive group chat alternatives for group entrepreneurs when extra individuals be a part of, the audiences may nonetheless be too restricted for some entrepreneurs for the time being. On prime of this, the app continues to be unavailable to Android customers.

“Clubhouse actually hinders its capabilities because there are many talented potential users out there that are missing out all because they are on Android,” Wu says.

For those who’re trying to solely create content material for the most important audiences attainable, you may need to maintain off on constructing a Clubhouse technique proper now. Nevertheless, should you’re solely trying to experiment and see should you can attain the audiences it already has, it is perhaps an attention-grabbing platform on your group to strive.

2. Clubhouse might have sturdy audio-app competitors.

Fb and Twitter may very well be simply the primary platforms to create a similar audio drop-in experience. And, whereas this hints that Clubhouse creators have stumbled upon a platform many social media customers need, the big-name competitors might additionally pose issues in regards to the platform’s future.

For instance, if Fb or one other main competitor can create one thing comparable that is much less unique and permits iPhone and Android customers, individuals may go away Clubhouse for a platform with a bigger viewers or extra credibility within the social media world. If this occurs, entrepreneurs who make investments closely in a Clubhouse technique may must do a sudden pivot.

Whereas this should not scare you away from testing the platform should you assume it is proper on your model, the competitors continues to be necessary to bear in mind. If you’re contemplating Clubhouse, proceed to observe its rivals and decide how you can pivot your technique to these platforms in case your audiences begin to flock there as a substitute.

three. Clubhouse can really feel like an “unedited podcast.”

“Another challenge I think brands and individuals will have with Clubhouse is how it feels like an unedited podcast,” says Hendrickson. “That means you’re hearing all the great meat, but you also have to listen to the trimmings. It will be interesting to see if long term, people are okay with that in their content.”

For those who’re planning to experiment on Clubhouse, think about working towards a couple of dialog starters, how you will enter the decision, and decide what you will do should you run into useless air, boring dialog, or off-topic dialogue that pulls consideration away out of your Room’s objective.

Though Rooms are dwell and unscripted, having a gameplan will show you how to average an efficient, higher-quality dialog than customers may discover in different Rooms.

four. Manufacturers may very well be too weak.

Sure generations, like Gen Z, crave authenticity from individuals and types they observe on social media. With an app like Clubhouse, manufacturers might create Rooms or Golf equipment associated to their trade that embody thought leaders, prospects, and even shoppers that need to discuss with them in a dwell, unfiltered method.

Nevertheless, whereas Clubhouse’s excessive degree of unscripted authenticity has intrigued each entrepreneurs and potential customers, it additionally might put manufacturers in weak positions. Wu describes this as “a balance between good and evil.”

Inside a 12 months of its launch, Clubhouse’s dwell nature has already led to brand-related controversies.

For instance, in February, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, dropped right into a Room with Robinhood Markets CEO Vlad Tenev and raised his hand. When he was invited to talk by the Room’s moderators, Musk started intensely questioning Tenev and requested him to clarify why his stock-trading firm stopped its users from buying and selling GameStop and other manipulated stocks. You’ll be able to hear the road of questioning within the video beneath:

youtube

Whereas Robinhood’s CEO remained calm and picked up all through the chat, some manufacturers may not have well-trained audio system who would react as calmly or professionally to this shocking situation.

Moreover, though Clubhouse does not enable customers to file, many both downloaded screen-recording apps or filmed their telephones with one other video recording gadget. Due to this, Musk and Tenev’s dialog was lined by the media inside hours.

Despite the fact that conversations can’t be replayed or recorded within the Clubhouse app itself, entrepreneurs on the app should do not forget that they’re dwell and something they are saying might simply be streamed or quoted in seconds. Due to this, Room hosts ought to put together themselves in order that they’ll reply each straightforward and difficult questions from viewers members. Moderators also needs to decide what they will do or how they will react if an unmuted viewers member says one thing controversial or sudden.

Is Clubhouse best for you?

In its present state, Clubhouse might supply some main consciousness and community-building advantages to manufacturers. However, due to how new it’s, it additionally poses some challenges and cons to firms that need to attain the most important audiences attainable. In the end, whereas some firms may thrive on it, others may notice that it’s not the very best platform for his or her targets simply but.

As with all new social media platform, you will need to spend a while on Clubhouse and see what the app has to supply earlier than placing effort and time into utilizing it.

At this level, it may very well be smart to see if certainly one of your pals or colleagues can ship you a Clubhouse invite so you possibly can familiarize your self with the app. If you cannot go online, you’ll want to proceed following the information round it.

As you surf by way of the app or learn Clubhouse information protection, ask your self questions like these:

Are matters associated to your product or trade broadly mentioned on the platform?

Are there any thought leaders or firm consultants you can host a panel or two with to spice up your consciousness or credibility on Clubhouse?

Are our rivals utilizing Clubhouse? And, if that’s the case, can we create stronger Room experiences than they’ll?

Do you already use marketing methods that may very well be tailored to an audio-only platform, corresponding to dwell video Q&As, webinars, or digital occasions?

With questions like these above, you possibly can decide if you’ll create scalable and fascinating content material for this social media platform.

Cannot get entry to Clubhouse simply but? Don’t fret. We’ll proceed to cowl it on the HubSpot Weblog so you will be prepared while you do.

How Video Helps Customer Empowerment and Retention Rates

Your customers are the key to the continued growth and success of your business. But what’s the key to keeping your customers? According to Nadav Dakner, CEO of InboundJunction, customer empowerment is the key to great customer retention.

Dakner put together an article for Kissmetrics blog discussing the best ways to empower and ultimately retain customers. There are a lot of “growth hacks” and “get new customer tips” out there these days. New customers are undoubtedly important. But Dakner argues the more important place to devote time and resources is customer retention.

The argument for customer retention isn’t a new one – though customer empowerment as the vessel to achieve that retention might be. In either case, Dakner’s reasoning is solid.

Retention or Acquisition? The Not So “Chicken and Egg” Debate

Dakner points out that acquiring new customers can cost five times as much as retaining them. And you can’t expect to grow your business without acquiring new customers. But making sure your existing customers are happy will pay off in the long run. Dakner mentions a Belly study that says merchants estimated over 70% of their revenue (for 2015) came from loyal customers.

Seventy percent! It makes sense if you think about it.

If you have a favorite clothing brand and you’re in the market for new pants, you’ll likely check their current offerings first. If you shop there again when you need a new belt and new summer shirts – all of a sudden you’ve dropped a couple hundred dollars on this brand across several transactions.

Which brings up another of Dakner’s points…There’s a lot of lost revenue opportunity when you lose a loyal customer. You don’t just lose a customer and a single pants-buying transaction. You lose future transactions, too.

What Sends People Packing?

Different customers have different tolerance levels. But as Dakner points out, “even one negative customer experience can send people in search of your competitors.”

Some customers will leave if they catch wind of other people no longer using your service. This doesn’t have to happen on a #DeleteUber scale to hurt your business. Negative market sentiment on any scale – even that caused by customer churn – can send your customers packing.

You need to keep people feeling good about you and your offerings. This can mean everything from making sure new customers know exactly how to use your product, to sharing customer success stories with others. Both of which (here it comes!) empower your customers.

The trick to making customers stay

So how do you actually go about empowering them? According to Dakner, “Customer empowerment can’t be improvised. It must be an in-depth, planned process involving steps both before and after they become your customers.” At Epic Dog Studios, we hear what he’s saying.

We’ve had great success with an agile, iterative approach to creating in-depth video content. And to put an example to Dakner’s point – we don’t just make video for our clients simply for the sake of making video.

Instead, video becomes a tool for our clients to more effectively sell their services. That doesn’t come from guesswork and off-the-cuff ideas. It’s deliberate, intentional progress towards a planned result.

Dakner says “You must leave them with positive emotions about what your product or service can do for them, their goals, their challenges, or their quality of life.” And again, he gets it right. Very rarely do people want to hear about the technical features of your service or product. They don’t care as much about the “sleek look” of your app as they do about how it can help them save $2500 per year.

This is where animated video can really shine. It’s easy to see how controlling the tone through music, color palette, and even stylized animations can leave a powerful impression more quickly on your customers than text, for example (especially considering video consumption trends, these days).

Creating Success Stories and Then Sharing Them

Celebrating the successes of your products through mediums like video can boost empowerment with other users. If a customer saved $2500 by using your financial app, let others here about it!

First, the customers who achieve the success are doubly-empowered when they’re featured. The recognition brings positive feelings about your product and their success to both the featured customer and other customers – ”look, here’s proof I made the right decision!”

Also, it adds some accountability (similar in a way to those Facebook accountability groups that have popped up for certain online courses). If others see you as successful, what choice do you have but to continue to be successful? It is one more motivator, this desire to live up to a celebrated reputation.

It’s not hard to imagine that scenario leading to more success for that successful customer, more feelings of gratitude and appreciation from her for your products, and greater consumption of your offerings down the road.

As Dakner says, “If you can highlight and emphasize the impact your offering has on [your customers’] lives and goals, illustrating how your product has helped them get where they want to be, you will deepen the emotional connection between your customer and your product.”

Case studies, user stories, testimonials – these are some of the most powerful pieces of your selling puzzle. Consumers are smart. They’re always on the lookout for sales messages and sneaky advertisements… Let your loyal customers help you convert!

Use Video to Keep Customers From Getting Stuck in the Mud

“Customers who feel they’re stagnating with your product are going to up and leave, just to avoid the frustrating feeling of being stuck. But customers who feel they are growing and making progress toward their goals are going to hold on to that experience. Education content demonstrating how to effectively use your product can give the quagmired customers that extra guidance on how to progress.”

As Dakner points out, empowering customers involves guiding and nurturing them on the other end of the sale. Confusion on the part of the customer can lead to several detrimental outcomes: One, they return it. Even if they don’t leave a review, everyone’s time and money is wasted (or refunded). Two, they leave negative reviews around the web – we’ve all seen those “didn’t do what it said it would” reviews. Could more guidance and nurturing for the customer have prevented that?

Negative reviews and high return rates obviously signal to you that something is wrong, but it signals that to all your potential customers, too. And that’s a problem. Using video the right way, at the right time can make the difference between a raving fan and a missed opportunity.

Give Your Customers an Experience that’s Worth Holding on to

As Dakner puts it “customers who feel they are growing and making progress toward their goals are going to hold on to that experience.”

Never underestimate the power of the happy, progress-making customer. And don’t underestimate the power of sharing that customer’s story, either. Keep your customers moving through the tunnel (or funnel – *wink*) by showing them the light at the end.
