Campaigns are an essential feature.
Campaigns can be calls for boycott or endorsment. They can be targeted at individual products product groups, brands, companies, corporations, supply chains or areas. Areas can be provinces or countries.
Some preliminary ideas:
- Anyone can start a campaign on anything
- You may subscribe only to one of the campaigns targeted at the same thing
- Campaigners can be virtual or real entities (cybercampaigns and realworld campaigns should be treated a little differently, real have more "weight" then virtual)
- Subscribing to a campaign gives a person one vote when meeting is called to make decisions (split, merger, opinion change, nullifying) about the campaign
- Campaigns can be merged and split just like companies and traded in similar manner to how companies are traded in stock exchanges
