The Steemit Thunderclap is an initiative started by user @fitzgibbon to get Steem to trend on Twitter. The original post can be found [here](https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@fitzgibbon/let-s-make-steem-trend-on-twitter-on-the-9th-of-january-join-the-steem-twitter-thunderclap). The event will happen tomorrow! ### What is a Thunderclap? ------ > By participating in a Twitter Thunderclap you will allow Thunderclap to send out 1 specific tweet at an exact time. This very first time in 2018 we will Thunderclap on the 9th of January, letting the world know that Steem has a very fast transaction time, thanks to this amazing GIF from @kyriacos: ------ https://steemitimages.com/DQmT5kELzm4KsaHDEA37tiD8BGxgZNkZbBde7kor4TvP4TK/still%20waiting.gif # You can sign up for the STEEM thunderclap [HERE](https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/66402-are-you-still-waiting). -------- ![Screen Shot 2018-01-08 at 09.51.14.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXyN2w2AjgVNHE7YTk9NAe4LNjv9e6i7M441e84sFnXEn/Screen%20Shot%202018-01-08%20at%2009.51.14.png) # The grind ------- The grind is how I named the process to get yourself more known on the platform. It's not always easy, especially when you are new and on your own, and I think many of us know someone that has given up on Steemit because it was 'too hard'. In my vlog I talk about a user @kesolink who I think is a good example of someone that is going through the grind and slowly being picked up. He's from Nigeria and recently started to [promote Steemit there](https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@kesolink/steemup-in-ogun-state-nigeria-wow-it-was-a-great-steemup-meetup-over-here). ------ https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf84t6h3Ds3PRaKvNgnSgL9WZuWzphjXhBKJDfpGDun4g/Exyle%20logo%20final%20_%20RGB-04.png ------------- #### I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain.
