Premise
A simple idea : a website designed to connect people who have complaints about a company, service, or any other institution, and collaborate on a course of action to address their issues.
Database
The complaintee simply records their complaint, including a description of the complaint, the company, service, etc. which prompted the complaint, and then adds tags making it easier for the site's search function to find the complaint.
Accessibility
Eventually, when enough complaints have been recorded, an organized file-style system can be created, whereby companies and other institutions with large number of complaints will be assigned their own files, where people can find easy access to the entire array of company-specific complaints and proposed courses of action.
Goal
To centralize people's efforts to change companies and institutions whose practices have demonstrably been unhelpful to the citizen and consumer.

www.boycottit.com
The Idea
boycottit.com would be a site that anyone can go to, to see a list of companies and check on the company's business practices.
This is a simple tool anyone can use to check on the companies and services they purchase from and determine if their track record makes them want to be a company they continue to support.
A Database
Clicking on a company would focus primarily on bringing up information about the company as presented from the news.
Site's Slogan
"When You Buy From A Company, You Are Effectively Saying That You Endorse Their Business Practices : the way they treat their employees, the way they treat the environment, they way they treat their community. Choose who you shop from wisely. Your dollars shape the world."
Example : Wal-Mart and Shell
