GSA collaborated with Thunderclap to negotiate the amended terms, which brings the total number of \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/resources/negotiated-terms-of-service-agreements/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etools with federal-compatible agreements\u003c/a\u003e to 66.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Social media is an easy way to say something. But sometimes it’s a difficult way to be heard, with the vast amount of content being shared every day. Thunderclap is a “crowdspeaking” platform that helps people be heard by saying something together using their Twitter and Facebook accounts. 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 or organization create action around a specific campaign. Those who agree to support a  cause authorize Thunderclap to tweet from their accounts or blast out a Facebook post in the event that the level of support “tips,” or rises to a pre-determined threshold.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  As one example, the White House \u003ca href=\"https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/1839-nowisthetime-to-act\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elaunched an account on Thunderclap\u003c/a\u003e to call for common-sense steps to reduce gun violence. Several other agencies are considering using Thunderclap as an additional component of their social media campaigns now that a federal compatible TOS is available.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Thuncerclap is now listed on HowTo.gov among the almost 70 other \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/resources/negotiated-terms-of-service-agreements/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etools and apps with federal-friendly terms of service\u003c/a\u003e.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Watch the webinar or view the slide presentation, \u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2013/08/amplify-your-message-with-thunderclap-slides.pdf\"\u003eAmplify Your Message with Thunderclap\u003c/a\u003e (PDF, 7.7 MB, 81 pages), to find out more about using the tool.\n\u003c/p\u003e"}
