The OpenAccess Button Thunderclap (
https://www.thunderclap.it/en/projects/5675-open-access-button-launch )
will happen in about 5 hours from now. This comes from two students Joe and
David who are angry that paywalls still exist. The Thunderclap will push
800,000+ tweets onto the web expressing their frustration.

I've hacked with Joe and David in Bethnal Green. They are the generation
that matter. I've blogged this
