Kickstarter

















If you have a project that needs funding or a "kickstart," then check out the website KickStarter. This is just one example of what I love about technology - it's a tool to disseminate to the masses that wonderful idea and to receive support. Their slogan is "A new way to fund and follow creativity"

In a nutshell, Kickstarter is an all or nothing funding platform that allows people to present their projects and others to pledge donations. Every project is assigned a goal amount and pledge deadline. If you meet 100% or more of your indicated amount, then you get all the money. If not...tough luck, you get nothing. Of course there are other details and guidelines to hold people accountable.

Take a few minutes to browse the website and discover some projects; maybe you'll discover one you want to help support.
