I wonder how much the attention to crowdfunding debacles will negatively impact it's long term future as a platform for innovation (e.g. We want to make this awesome thing but can't get funded, if you really want it we'll make it) vs just a pre-order / viral sales channel. It's a shame but it's also somewhat expected since the creators are figuring it out as they go. There is no need to cover successful on time deliveries on blogs / HN but plenty of dramatic reasons to cover the troubles.
