Thunderclap, a mass-messaging service that gained popularity on Twitter, has set its sights on Facebook. Twitter recently booted Thunderclap from operating on its network, so now its organizers are gearing up to run on Facebook.

The first mass-message has already been sent, as the Human Rights Watch used Thunderclap to spread support through Facebook for female athletes from Saudi Arabia. Their country has banned women from competing in the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games. Thunderclap is one of many parties to use Facebook to promote an Olympics cause.

According to Fast Company, if the Human Rights Watch‘s campaign reaches 500 supporters by June 27, the company will focus its operations on Facebook.

How does Thunderclap send messages so globally? By clicking that you support a cause, Thunderclap posts the message to your Facebook page, provoking your friends to join in.
