Observations:
1) People need day-to-day help2) People want to help others3) These people can't find each other
BrowniePoints connects these two groups with unmet needs.

How It Works
• User A creates an account• User A submits a favor (description, location, points,
deadline, contact information)• User B ‘calls dibs’ on the favor and gets contact
information of User A• User A confirms favor completion• BrowniePoints are transferred from User A to User B

Why not make it a Facebook app?
Pros:- Broadcasts usage very easily- Network already available
Cons:- Not conducive to a local, small community idea- Hard to differentiate between applications- Facebook apps have a bad reputation (privacy)

CompetitorsHouse Lists- Smaller audience- No recognition or reward- Inconsistent- Naysayers
Craigslist- Too large an audience- Not perceived as safe - Focused on taking rather than giving- Not well-suited for favors
