I’ve always been a fan of crowd-funding.  I think it’s really awesome that people with great ideas can use crowd-funding as a tool to make their idea a reality.  Sure, there’s questionable stuff that is successful through crowd-funding (such as the Potato Salad Kickstarter), but for the most part it seems people are using it…
