What happened to Thunderclap?
Thunderclap was a crowdspeaking platform that ran at this address from 2012 until it shut down in 2018. The domain was acquired afterwards by a separate company, which has run a social media growth service here since 2019. The two are unrelated — same address, different business.
The platform that used to be here
Crowdspeaking worked on a threshold. A campaign asked supporters to pledge a single social media post in advance; if enough people pledged before the deadline, every supporter's account published the same message at the same moment. A cause that would otherwise have trickled out over weeks landed on many timelines at once. If the campaign fell short of its target, nothing was posted at all — the pledge cost you nothing.
Thunderclap ran that model from 2012. It shut down in 2018, and its campaign pages went with it. That is why a link to a campaign from 2015 returns a 404 today: the page is genuinely gone, and there is no equivalent page on this site to send you to instead.
What this domain is now — and what it isn't
After the shutdown, the domain name was acquired by a separate company. Since 2019 it has operated a social media growth service here: followers, likes, views and related engagement across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter/X and LinkedIn, alongside free guides and free tools.
It is worth being blunt about what that does not mean, because the two names are constantly conflated:
- There was no merger. The crowdspeaking platform was not bought, absorbed or continued. It closed, and the address changed hands afterwards.
- There is no corporate link. Different company, different people, different product. Nothing of the original organisation carried over.
- No accounts or data transferred. Buying a domain transfers the address, not the service behind it. No supporter lists, campaign records, email addresses or credentials from 2012–2018 came with it, and none are held here.
If you were looking for an old campaign
We can't help retrieve it, and it's better to say so plainly than to send you to a support queue that will reach the same answer more slowly. There is nothing on this side to search: no archive, no database, no way to look up who pledged or what a campaign raised. A public web archive of the original page is the only realistic route to a record of it.
We also don't run anything comparable, and have no plans to. This is a social media growth service; crowdspeaking is not something it does.
Why this page exists at all
Roughly nine in ten people who reach a missing page on this domain are looking for the old platform, not for followers. Answering them with a product page would be a worse answer than admitting the thing they wanted is gone — so the rest of the site makes its own case, and this page just tells the truth about the address.
