QR Poems by Bobby Allen » Updates — Kickstarter: "How much of a person must be subdued in order for him to be part of a group?

How much of a person survives in a group?

How much is lost

Because it does not fit the mold set by their peers?

The individual is dieing

Absolved into a mass

A small lump of clay in the hands of their peers

A clay that never hardens

But remains pliable and easily molded.

The Individual is dieing

Stabbed in the back

By the people around them

The gossip the rumors

Words and deeds are their weapons

The Individual is dieing

Fundry is shutting down. Two weeks to withdraw your funds. Is that fair? | matteo on wordpress

Fundry is shutting down. Two weeks to withdraw your funds. Is that fair? | matteo on wordpress: "And what if some people have other things to do in those two weeks, rather than reading Fundry’s email, or what if this email gets in your spam box?
This is the email I’ve received, read well the bolded part:

I’m sorry to announce that we will shortly be shutting down Fundry.com.

We appreciate the effort all our developers and funders have put in over the last 18 months, but unfortunately the service is currently not financially sustainable, and we can no longer commit to supporting it."

2010 December « Fundry blog: "The first blog post about Fundry was by ReadWriteWeb, who conveniently labelled us the ‘Kickstarter for Developers‘. Now there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s the standard elevator pitch for any new application – the A for B, the X meets Y. And Kickstarter is a great application to be compared to to. It’s proved an invaluable tool for so many projects, has put crowdfunding in the headlines, and showed how crowdfunding can be effective and worthwhile. Thanks particularly to Kickstarter, crowdfunding is here to stay."
