I see a lot of posts about how someone just recently emailed X company to start accepting bitcoins. I was wondering if we as a community should start organizing efforts to inform different businesses about bitcoin.
I have seen websites in the past where people pledge X amount of dollars to spend on a company if they did Y. Perhaps we could make a website similar to this where people can vote on different companies to target for the week and pledge X amount of bitcoins if they did. It obviously would be sort of an honor system since I don't think people will want to blindly put their bitcoins into something that isnt a sure thing.
The website could be organized similar to all those political sites where there are clear and convenient buttons to email/tweet/facebook etc said company and perhaps a pre-written script.
Or to avoid a swarm of emails - perhaps a website dedicated to a walk-a-thon type pledging, where users would pledge and once funding got to a certain point an email would be dispatched to the company detailing how much support they have from BTC users.
Hopefully the site could also automate integration of bitpay for them somehow... I don't know just spitballing my drunken ass off here

I think this would work best with smaller companies rather than large ones (see amazon, newegg etc).
What do you guys think?
Small sample of businesses I have in mind:- Grooveshark: Grooveshark is an internationally available online music search engine, music streaming service and music recommendation web software with a subscription option for anytime mobile use.
- Dollar Shave Club: A subscription based razors for a fraction of the price online store where razors are shipped monthly.
- Giftly: Lets users buy personalized online gift certificates to local businesses through their phones. (Commenting on the currect Gyft Bitpay integration would be really good.)
- Quarterly: Every three months for $25, users get a gift created exclusively for Quarterly by influencers such as reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Swiss designer Tina Roth Eisenberg and writer Joshua Foer.
