Kickstarter for iOS: Seven great product ideas

Kickstarter for iOS: Seven great product ideas -

Part of an online phenomenon known as “crowd funding,” Kickstarter is the most successful example of this breed of social funding services that bring together great ideas with consumers hungry for something new. Kickstarter has become a place where individuals with such ideas have come to show off their particular skills.

The way Kickstarter works is simple. Enterprising individuals come up with a project idea and identify a target funding amount that is required to take their idea to market.  There are certain guidelines that a project must meet.  Once accepted, the project is run as an all or nothing proposition: Either the project raises all of the funding necessary to make the product, or it gets nothing.
