Daily Actions app for simple mass engagement

What is the idea

From the Head of IT at The Humane League:

"We currently have an activist list to whom we send out, roughly three times a week, emails containing one or two simple actions for people to take (post something on Twitter, post on FB, email this CEO, call this Executive, etc), but unfortunately email is quite limiting both in the simplicity of actions (you’d be amazed how many people don’t have mailto configured properly on their computers) and our ability to track the engagement and success of those emails. One prospective solution of ours is to build a “daily actions” web app where we could post these actions instead that would also employ some sort of user auth + cookie-based login to allow people across platforms to quickly go there and take our daily actions, preferably in the morning, preferably while on the toilet."
