Thunderclap is a tool that lets you build a large (or even massive) support campaign for anything you care about. Then, in one dramatic moment, all your messages are blasted out to social media. Think of the impact of a very loud thunderclap heard in a storm – you can hear one for miles. That’s where the name comes from. It is a way to break through the growing social media noise. The minimum goal is 100 supporters. If you don’t hit 100, your messages don’t go out. It’s hard even for the staff at Thunderclap to predict what people will respond to, so you never know until you try.

Users include: Barack Obama/the White House, Blake Shelton, People Magazine, W Magazine, Major League Baseball, the United Nations, the Ad Council, Phonebloks, FEMA, Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone, and others
