The term lacks any congruous definition. I ask everyone who coins the term, “what does it mean?” and each of them gives me a different answer. Without any single definition the term lacks any meaning to me… and it’s frustrating when people tell me about their web 2.0 startup and it tells me nothing about what they do.

It’s no surprise to me then that there is a problem IMO.

Great article!

I haven’t used Fundable yet, but it looks pretty painless. Set up an action, send a link, collect the money.

Good luck!

To intice my neighbors to use new forums, I’m recording community meetings in digital audio and posting them online.

If I were to go with something like fundable to get the funds necessary to replicate myself, that is to send out another recorder, and to augment the online presence with printed media, like flyers, that might create enough of a presence to bid for grant money.

How does one work fundable into a fund rasing campaign?

It would be nice if it succeeded, because I could then teach this form of fundraising to New Orleans community organizations.

I think if you wanted another bountiful example you could riff on Google’s buy and forget strategy. Other’s have commented on this but without the focus on the negative innovation and economic space this creates.

And while we’re referencing torcamp and others can someone please develop “bizcamp”. I’d rather see business models demoed than ajax but maybe that’s just me.
