Another similar website to this is Mybandstock.com, but unlike kickstarter, the website is only for musicians to raise money from their fans.

What a great idea! We (Wokai) are using the Kickstarter platform for Wokai to help raise microloan capital for Wan Qingbi, a lady in rural China who is struggling to rebuild her home and business after the 2008 earthquake.

Kickstarter is gaining momentum and I think it has a lot to do with the simplicity of the experience from both sides; people looking to pledge as well as creatives promoting their projects.

I just posted my first digital arts project with them and I am excited to watch it spark to life over the next couple of months.

“only time will tell if the startup can make enough noise to stand out of the crop”

Did you mean “stand out from the crowd”?

Just signed up – would love to take a look at starting a fundraising project, or at least get started in setting up such a project.

Thanks – sounds like a great option to explore.

Actually, Kickstarter’s open to the world and doesn’t require an invite to back projects… You only need an invite if you want to create a new fundraising project.

Interesting idea, I can see it having some success but it’ll most likely end up filled with utter shit. What sort of guarantees about project completion do we have? I think it would work better as a loan based service, similar to kiva.org, where users can pledge $xx and get returned after a period of time. Not sure how that would be monitored though.
