I’m really excited about … The Point which is out of Chicago. Basically, The Point takes petitions to a new level by having people make a pledge to take some action if a number of other people do the same. So, for example, they’ll try to generate $20,000 by having someone say “I’ll donate 20 bucks to help a playground be built if 999 other people pledge the same thing.
