Community funding site has found something interesting: "To date, if a project manages to get to 25% of its funding goal, it has a 94% success rate." This is it. This is a big deal. This allows for the public service that Gandhi talked about, fully reliant on the public.

An easy way to raise funds via the web. Funds aren't released until the total amount is met. If it doesn't get met, the funds are returned automatically. Think "I need $1000 to film this movie".

Or, "How to make a living in the world of the Long Tail"
