This would be great - and if it finds a few, give the user the option to select one of the ones it finds on the various social services.

Very impressive and refreshing. For our team, this would replace google hangouts and non-technical people needing to wade through technical discussions on irc... And more than anything, would replace a lot of unnecessary emails.

Right, I truly think it was genuine pride for the excellent addition of technology to the process. The guy rocked, but the point remains - the addition he's excited about will likely result in frictional unemployment in his particular posit

as bostonvaulter noted below, i don't think it's so much about illumination on the issue (given there is only a billboard to work with). i think the idea is finding whatever will be the best vector for further news articles about the issue,

ax, the link that started this thread is actually a good example of something that is possible through Crowdtilt and not through Kickstarter. groupfunding, as we call it, allows you to pool funds for anything from a $4,100 airbnb house for

Thanks, and yes those are steps we're actually working on right now :) Give the site a try sometime and let us know any feedback you have that could improve the experience: team @ crowdtilt.com

that's not entirely true, as his district also has part of Austin where anti-SOPA/PIPA sentiment is quite high.

Yeah, we think the models that Kickstarter/Indiegogo have for projects and pre-sale retail is pretty amazing and we actually see campaigns that go up on our site that are more suited for a model like Kickstarter. With Crowdtilt, we've essen

I don't want to speak for Alexis, but I think he just thought he'd send it out to friends and people he's gotten through the SOPA ordeal to see if it had a chance of getting funded - wasn't really a "let's rally the internet" kind of thing

we actually want to provide a pretty substantial dashboard to admins so they can see (and like us, get obsessed with) things like referral traffic, the referrals with the most value/contributed, the velocity of contributions you've mentione

As one of the co-founders of crowdtilt, I figure we'd mention that this is our fastest growing campaign to break $10k (2 days) to date. Not saying a _whole_ lot since it's only been about a month since launch, but still cool to see it go fr

this has been our fastest campaign to break $5k so far (2 hours). not saying a whole lot since we just launched last month, but pretty awesome to see (and is a cause we're really glad to be a part of)..props to alexis and the reddit communi

i'm one of the two founders of crowdtilt, in the current yc batch - our modification on the model is crowdfunding for groups of friends (ie instead of a $40,000 documentary it's a $800 party-bus or $500 tailgate), though now it's being used

Stripe's model depends on marketing and press, PoundPay has gotten really good word of mouth by the companies that currently use it (for our startup we've looked at our own processing, paypal, amazon, and just about all the options)

I just got to Austin, and may be leaving at the beginning of the year, but as a city, the place is unreal. It's now bigger than San Francisco, but still feels like a town, which I prefer... Nothing like the Valley, but they say 2011 was kin

Or: I'm pointing out that it may have been the team members of the similar idea (or the fact he was a sole founder) that made the difference.

No, you don't fail at life. PG et al makes a point to explain the team members being more important in the application process than the actual idea.
