Coolest Cooler
- mcintyre1994 12y agoThis is now the biggest kickstarter ever - and failed previously trying to raise $125k. The verge have quite a nice write up but I imagine there's a lot of interesting writing to come on this one. http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/27/6074101/the-biggest-kickstarter-ever-failed-the-first-time-around http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/27/6074101/the-biggest-kickst...
- zumzumzum 12y agoIn the original video, at 2:54, you can see the red trim in the upper right come unstuck. The new design is obviously more well thought out and way more pleasing.
- ShinyCyril 12y agoCan anyone offer an explanation as to how this product just became the biggest Kickstarter ever? In no way was that a dig at the product -- props to them for their success -- I'm just having a hard time comprehending how a coolbox has exceeded every other project on Kickstarter. Is it an American thing?
- jbarrow 12y agoI have similar thoughts concerning the coolest (and I am an American). My conclusion was that its appeal is inherently different than the Ouya or Pebble, and that my conceptions of what should and shouldn't be a wildly successful kickstarter are constrained by my tech-oriented mindset. I'm assuming their product appeals to a different (and larger crowd) than the early adopters of wearables or a new gaming system, in which case their success, though unpredictable, seems much more reasonable.
