       Kickstarter

       What do you guys know about Kickstarter? How it works? Perks?
       Failures? Successes?
       I just happened across two products I just now heard about and
       wish I got on the ground floor.
       What little I do know, it seems to be a great way to take an
       idea and get it off the ground with financial support from
       investors.
       But beyond giving money to the project, what does one get out of
       it?

       If it weren't for [b]Kickstarter, the Veronica Mars Movie

       />would still be a pipe dream. I'm okay with it funding smaller
       projects and in this rare case, a movie that would not have
       gotten off the ground when Warner Brothers said "No" to the idea
       of financing the film. But if Michael Bay or Steven Spielberg
       decides to fund his next movie using money from the fans in
       place of his own money, that's where I draw the line.

       Depending on the project, most will offer some sort of swag or
       tickets or producer credit or whatever. It's kind of like
       getting something on the back end rather than up front.
