Thunderclap

I'm ashamed to say my Mum brought my attention to Thunderclap. God only knows how she found out about it. Essentially it's a way to get massive social reach. You think of something, a cause for example, you wanted tweeted, and then (hopefully) people will sign up to your cause, and on a give date at a given time, the tweet will be automatically tweeted by all who signed up.

Or, as they say, "Social media is an easy way to say something, but it’s a difficult way to be heard. Thunderclap is the first-ever crowdspeaking platform that helps users be heard by saying something together. It allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style, that rises above the noise of your social networks. By boosting the signal at the same time, Thunderclap helps a single person create action and change like never before."


Squarespace and Dedication

My blog is hosted by Squarespace. I've always liked them, part due to the platform (very easy and very customisable) and part due to the amazing customer service. I've always had very prompt replies, and also very helpful ones. I'm a big fan. 

I was even more pleased when I got a very nice email just before Sandy hit telling me that things might go wonky, but that they were working on it as best they could, however, I really didn't expect them to be running buckets of fuel up 17 floors to power the generators, all day and all night. But, that's just what they've been doing. Now that, my friends, is dedication.

Thank you, Squarespace.
