Kickstarter.com

Hi, today i'm going to tell you something about the crowd funding plattform Kickstarter.com. On this site its possible for everyone to start a projekt or funding to projects from other people. Every projekt has a money target and if its reached the project is successfully funded.

I already knew kickstarter.com before this Social Web Class because of a project called Double Fine Adventure. Tim Schafer (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango) is one of the programmers here. The project is one of the most successful ones on kickstarter it Pledged about 3.3 Million Dollar of a goal of 400 thousand. That means about 800 percent more as suspected.

Another interesting projekt was the Printbot LC. It's a Full LASERCUT Printrbot Kit. Everything you need in one box to assemble a Printrbot Lasercut (“LC”). It funded about 800,000 Dollars, about 3000 percent more than suspected. Amazing!

ScanBox for iPhone is also such a cool project it's an easy to use, affordable and unbelievably portable scanning box that uses your smartphone's camera to take amazing high quality scans. It's easy to set up and packs down flat to easily fit into your bag or brief case. This project hast 25 Day's to go and has already reached ten times the Goal.
