Thunderclap for Mouth Cancer Action Month
We signed-up for this year’s specially coordinated social media-driven Thunderclap, a burst of simultaneous Tweets and Facebook posts, as part of November’s Mouth Cancer Action Month campaign.
The mass-posting via social media is aided by a Crowdspeaking tool, which helps supporters co-ordinate their posts by automating them for the.
