Discussion: Where do you find crowdfunded projects?

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

So far there is no central hub for all kinds of crowdfunded projects.  What we have are a few general communities like this one, some dedicated fundraising sites, and a bunch of sites dedicated to one specific format.  Plus word-of-mouth advertising and actual ads, of course. 

I usually find out about new crowdfunded projects from posts here or on Crowdfunding at Dreamwidth, occasionally freestuffday.  Sometimes I hear about them from friends.

Where do you find crowdfunded projects?

Yes...

I like Ravelry and craftgrrl for the photos. Sometimes I link to stuff just because it looks awesome. Maybe if enough people do that, the crafter will eventually think, "Hey, maybe I could make money at this."

There's a lot of stuff on Rav that I'd call crowdsourced and crowdfunded - patterns tested in the Testing Pool forums, then posted as tipware or freeware.

Cool!

I never got deep enough into it to discover those forums. That sounds really useful.

I periodically get obsessed. :-)
