# What I'm Using: Thunderclap (social media as currency for kickstarting an idea)

I’m very excited about the idea of using social media as currency within a kickstarter-like program. Go and check it out, because it kind of boggles the mind with possibility.

> If a tweet falls in the forest… 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 people be heard by saying something together. It allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style, so it 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.
