Thunderclap New Year's campaign

S sumimasen Public Seen by 32

With Facebook changing its ToS once again, I think there is great momentum around the 1st of January to get people to check out Diaspora. We should use this opportunity and I suggest starting a thunderclap campaign that hits around New Year's!

I am willing to set it up but would love your help with creating the draft :-)

If we're doing this, we need to go about it pretty fast, so we have some time to get the thing viral amoung all diasporians who still own Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr accounts.

So let's do some brainstorming here!

just keep thinking of animated exploding snowdrops (for Yule) that contain dandelion seeds expanding across a webpage - like the old Microsoft easter eggs? .. the dandelion seed is the visual ploy ... certainly beats a blue F ;)

@sumimasen i know how you feel ... its trying to see the macrocosm to affect the microcosm .. and the importance of confidence ;) ... but most just go for it - accepting falling 50 meters probably isnt a good idea .. but most land like a cat ;) ... i just get frustrated at my lack of knowledge .. this is also something i can do things about :)
