First time using The Point?
This campaign has a tipping point -- you pledge to take action, but only if 10 people people join. This way, you know your participation will make a difference. See how else you can make something happen on The Point.

    Great idea but it must be larger than zip code to be usable for large cities.

    x miles from zipcode is most important imho

    And countries! Please have campaigns divided by countries(with an option to have the campaign be deliberately "global") Might in fact be very effective to be able to browse specifically global campaigns as well, without having to dig through masses of “Add a playground to my tiny suburb in Minnesota” campaigns as well.

    George had some great detail about how he plans to use location-based search. If anyone else has specific campaigns in mind that they would like to use location-based search for, I’d love to hear them. Please include why and how location-based search would help for your specific cases.

    Definately add Countries, and Cities to the list of things we can search by… 99% of the tipping point entries don’t apply to me because they’re not applicable in my country. So if I want to find something I can join, I have to search through that 99% just to find the 1% that I can support and that’s a LOT of wasted time and effort.
