They could even automatically figure out projects you'd be interested in based on data collected from other backers "people who backed this project also backed" as well as simply using categories you have backed in the past. This is something where I think they'd get quite a few people signed up to a daily or weekly email about new campaigns.

Just the other day I was complaining about this. As someone who tends to back tech and film projects, and lives in Seattle, a film project about the Seattle tech scene went totally under my radar until I had read about the tech company I work for being one of the main backers of it --just hours after the funding period had ended.

Kickstarter really is terrible for actually finding projects to fund. I've only ever found interesting projects through completely external media sources as well. This could be a major competitive advantage for IndieGogo if they were to tackle this problem. I'd be willing to get a targeted newsletter of interesting projects from them.
