Crowdspeaking is a word that the people over at Thunderclap are hoping will soon be as common as crowdsourcing as they move to open their new application up to the public. The basic premise is that when you have a message that you fee needs to be heard, the community of thunderclap users will be able to elect to 'support' that message. If 500 people support your message within one week (currently the proposed default settings) then that message will automatically be retweeted on Twitter by those who chose to support that message in the first place. The Thunderclap team say that as 'the first-ever crowdspeaking platform" big ideas will now be able to "enjoy exponential amplicfication".
The question is, are people more likely to retweet something if 499 other people are doing it? What do you think?
