Talk House a Drop-in Audio Webapp: A cross between a podcast and a conference call

Talk House is a social networking webapp that has features like conference calls, talkback radio, audio podcast, and an online audio chat. Unlike other social networks, it allows real-time streaming audio chats without users needing to share any additional information such as text messages, videos, or photos. Users can listen to and participate in real-time conversations, as well as create their own discussions. Talk House is positioned as an exclusive and alternative social network that attracts celebrities and people who want to connect with others. It provides a platform for digital group therapy where people could discuss their problems with strangers. Despite the rise of uninterrupted communication through social media, there is a need for academic research into the reasons for the growing popularity of sound-based applications. This study is based on qualitative research methods to explore the grounds for people's use of these technologies and their underlying motivation. The paper examines the possible driving forces behind the creation of Talk House, reveals its true intentions, and assesses three possible scenarios for its future development.
